Hi.......!

For good and best social networking hosting, customers will find the support they need to host and create their own social network. As one thinks or wants to be more aggressive in marketing his social network site, he needs to provide a good user experience. There should be starting on a reliable shared hosting plan but should choose one from a larger provider that can support scalability so that it will be easy for you to upgrade your site to larger solutions as you need....

If you have large social network - having just shared web hosting account will not be enough at all.

You could use the service of HostGator. It would be the best for you as you are biggner or it is a low priced hosting provider.

Shared hosting will only work if the social network site is very small and unsuccessful. What you are proposing is a recipe for disaster and I will re-establish that a VPS is necessary once you get into the medium size category.

A social network hosting service is a service that particular user of Web-based social networking services associated with the application, build host web hosting. Social Web hosting plan works if you create a new generation would like to host community website.

A social network hosting service is a web hosting service that specifically hosts the user creation of web-based social networking services, alongside related applications. Such services are also known as vertical social networks due to the creation of SNSes which cater to specific user interests and niches; like larger, interest-agnostic SNSes, such niche networking services may also possess the ability to create increasingly-niche groups of users.

I agree with you. As soon as he needs update he will need to move to another web hosting package.

I have a social network and run it on a dedicated server provided by hostgator, I haven't had a problem with them yet and it costs $ 174 a month

How many subscribers do you have?

I suppose that shared account will be more then enough to get started.

A friend and I are building a new social network. We don't have a lot of start-up cash. Very little. But we're looking for a decent web host. I'm not really sure what kind of host to use for this venture. I can afford about $50 a month to start out with. As a result I've been looking into VPS hosts. But in doing so I keep coming to these hosts that offer "Cloud Servers" and I have never heard of those. What are cloud servers? They seem to offer good space and bandwidth, but are they as good as a VPS?

I'm just curious what the best kind of host is for a start up like this considering what we can afford right now?
