Dolphin Hosting and Social Networking
One of Dolphin’s major points is its ability to build a very viable social network. In particular, Dolphin’s strengths lie in chat, messenger functions, advertisement support and custom built forums. Dolphin hosting is very simple to apply to your social presence by incorporating Facebook content, polls, reblogging social content through Dolphin, sharing photos – even maps. Overall, Dolphin has a wide range of social specific content that can be customised to your needs.
Dolphin hosting is similar to popular Content Management Systems in that it is structured around extensions that it calls modules. Such modules allow for the user to customise the appearance of the platform, add advertisement support, connect payment gateways, as well as host a variety of social based communities – dating sites are a prime example. Dolphin actually has great support for mobile devices integrated into the platform.
