Anyway, Dolphin, per se, will remain free. We're closing down BMS, for it's getting fairly loaded, while it's not the cheapest machine. About 700USD/mo right now.

We provided it for free for a while to make it easier to deploy Dolphin on cheap hosting accounts, but right now more and more hosting providers provide affordable packages with RMS.

Moreover, Dolphin 7 has build-in messenger and modules can be tirned off easily, so one can deploy a Dolphin-based see more site on an account without RMS, albeit with limited functionality.
