    3 Default Dolphin installation works with most common configurations of hosting server, however, since Dolphin is a package with multiple scripts and apps, it is very important to ensure that all of the following requirements are met. Most of the technical problems occur due to improper server setup, so make sure that your hosting provider is Dolphin-compatible.

    55To help avoid trouble, we gathered a number of '''[http://www.boonex.com/hosting/ Recommended Hosting Providers]''' that have Dolphin-ready accounts and experience with managing accounts that have Dolphin installed. Some of them offer instant installation or even pre-installed Dolphin.

    7 Providing that the server is properly configured, it is possible to run Dolphin on a shared hosting account. We do recommend, however, to have a VPS or a Dedicated Server for Dolphin.

    60 Over years we worked with many different hosting providers and some of them are very experienced when it comes to managing Dolphin sites. Going for one of our '''[http://www.boonex.com/hosting Recommended Hosting Providers]''' is a good idea for both starters and those willing to work with companies that have Dolphin-experience. Most of our hosting partners provide automatic Dolphin installation and special discounts for Dolphin users.

    6262== Recommended Server Setup == 
    6363 
    64 Since Dolphin is a resource-intensive platform, it is very important to "fine-tune" your server. In some cases (for popular sites) you may have to setup servers-cluster, and/or remove database server. Alternative "web-server" software, such as '''[http://nginx.org/ nginx]''' may also be beneficial to your site performance. Please refer to [wiki:HostingServerSetupRecommendations Hosting Server Setup Recommendations] for the details on how you can tune-up your server.
