my Dolphin 7.02 is on shared hosting, it is new and as of now has around 6 active members(Free membership site).
Before I took recommended hosting(from Boonex site) I question the company on how well Dolphin worked on shared servers, their reply was they have thousands on shared hosting without problem and until membership was at a level to warrant change they were the perfect company.
I guess they were referring to more than 1 member because each day my site grinds to a halt at least 10 times but I gave up counting and despite them putting me on another shared server to shut me up nothing has changed.
This time their response was well that's how it's going to be because we have a lot of cron jobs through overuse and until you go Dedicated this won't get better and lets ignore our sales spill even though it was in writing.
Yes I pay normal pricing for shared hosting but as usual a new site without many members should stay fairly stable at a reasonable speed, some of the time it loads faster than lightning then after a while it dies then if you have the patience of a saint it's off again as if someone has fired a bullet.
Ok Ok I hear you say get to the point. I need out of this hosting company(yes you know who you are)as I am getting members join to never come back because of speed problems, so I am looking for a host at a reasonable price who will prove to me Dolphin works well on their servers.
I am sure I am not the only one to suffer this so any serious solutions would be very welcome, I will be wanting to see Dolphin sites on same type hosting plan and who can blame me for that...
