Goal: make sure as many people as possible have an easy experience to install Tiki.

Sometimes, shared hosts can have a certain configuration/setup which makes Tiki more difficult to install. Ex.: Site5 and thus people will end up not using Tiki because they can't install it.

There are many benefits for a hosting company to offer Tiki.

1. Identify hosts with most shared hosting customers

We are not concerned with v-servers of dedicated servers as people that get these can configure them as they please.

2. Test

• Get accounts with those companies and do test installs and upgrades
• Document how it went, and important to note any exceptions

3. Get in touch with these companies

• Try to be part of their installers. ex.: http://wiki.dreamhost.com/One_Click_Installs
