Interserver provides

shared, vps and dedicated hosting powered by Dolphin

Boonex Dolphin (or just Dolphin for short) is a social networking platform that allows you to create your own communities. You can use it to try to make your own Facebook-like site, create a corporate community page, make a dating website, or any number of other things. Compared to other social networking platforms, this one really does stand out as being one of the best. It is open source so you can get in and configure it to be just how you want. It also allows third party add-ons and other features to make it completely customizable.

In addition to being a great social network system, it also has built in options for blogging, forums, videos and more. This makes it extremely flexible and will give users an ‘all in one’ feel. It is designed in such a way that it will run great for smaller communities or can be expanded to manage communities with millions of members. It will run just fine on a shared InterServer hosting package until you have quite a few active users, which makes this a great option for those on a budget.

Dolphin Cons

  • Open to Third Parties
    Dolphin is made so you can add third party apps and features to make your community all your own.
  • Price
    You can get a free version, which has quite a few nice options. You can also opt for premium versions that are still quite affordable for what you’re getting.
  • Support
    The developers of this platform are working hard at keeping things updated and they offer support to premium users that run into issues.

Dolphin Review

  • Documentation
    They don’t really provide much in terms of documentation, which can make it difficult to get used to things.
  • No Free Mobile
    The mobile app license is only available for paying customers. Since social networks are primarily used on mobile devices these days, it doesn’t make sense for almost anyone to use the free version.

Dolphin Review

  • Initial Install
    You can install the free version of this platform on your site using the InterServer one-click installation features. Once installed you can configure thousands of features to make your social network work just the way you want it to. If you decide that you want the paid version you can upgrade from the admin panel without having to go through extensive downloads or other work, which is nice. They have really made managing this site, including the initial installation, very easy. Even though it is easy, there is a lot to do so make sure you plan on spending at least a day working on the initial installation before launching a live site.
  • Plugins
    They have tons of features built in so most things won’t require any type of plugin to be used. They do, however, have a modular system that allows you to import third party modules (plugins) to expand features and make other improvements. You won’t need to know much, if any, coding to do this either, which is very nice.
  • Themes
    There are plenty of themes from third party sources that can give your site a unique look and feel that you and your users will love. The themes available can help you to make your site exactly what you want it to be. Whether that is a social network, a dating site or something else entirely, you will love the ability to customize your page through themes.
  • Customization
    Just about everything on this system is completely customizable. Most of it can be done through the admin page without the need for plugins or anything else. If you do want to go beyond what is built in, however, the themes and plugins are easy to use and give you tons of options. When it comes to customization, this really is one of the best options out there. To make changes you just drag and drop modules in the admin panel where you want them.
  • SEO Friendly
    SEO is not exactly a priority for this type of site, but it should rank better than many other social platforms. If your users create blogs or other content, it should rank well in the search engines to draw in more traffic. Your site’s rankings will largely depend on how much content you and your users are putting out there.
  • Cost of Running
    You can run this platform for free, though most people will want to use one of the premium versions. There are several options for premium service. The first is a monthly plan that grants you access to premium support and features. The other is a one-time upgrade that gives you access to all the premium content forever. In either case, the price is quite reasonable for what you’re getting. They do also offer a hosted option on their servers, but it is extremely overpriced. If you have any type of budget at all, it makes sense to self-host on InterServer servers and then just pay for the premium features.
  • Other Programs Like it

    If Dolphin is not the right platform for your community, consider what of these alternatives that can also be installed with just one click when you have an InterServer hosting package:

Final Thoughts

If you want to start your own social network or other similar type of site, this is one of the best options out there. It is very easy to use, endlessly expandable and has tons of options. If you do run into trouble you will need to use their support system since they don’t offer the best documentation, but that is really the only major concern. Give it a try, you’ll love it.
