Here is my personal take on the situation.
Whilst Mikes posting is well intentioned in that it is aimed at ensuring people select the correct type of hosting for the Dolphin software, I think that asking him, or anyone else for that matter, will result in a personal opinion. The problem with personal opinions is that they are subjective and based upon a distinct set of unique circumstances and unique set of experiences. No webhosting experience is going to be perfect but some will do better than see more others. On the page where Boonex displays their recommended webhosts, there are a number of webhosts that I have hosted with and personally I would not want to use them again but there are others there that I would use again for various reasons. However, as I said, that is my personal opinion. Personally instead of asking any one individual, I would urge people to scan the forums and blog posts for peoples experiences with different webhosts. If you do this you will soon build up a picture of those webhosts that do 'better' than others given the 'sum' of peoples experiences.
