Creating a social networking website is not easy; it is made of complicated programs and graphics. But today there are services which let you create a network of your own, you can add only the people want and you can enjoy everything you get on a social networking site out there! You can even place your own ads on the website you’ve created. So here are some good websites which can help you to make a social networking website.
WackWall.com
Well there are so many good points for WackWall so I’ve decided to put it top on the list. First of all it is completely free! Then it allows you to add advertisements on your website for free-a feature which is not available for free on many others. Well, some features like Music Player are not available right now, but it is said that those features will be available soon. They have every feature that a typical social networking website should have, you can share media files, write blogs, have video chat! They also have over 70,000 widget for their users to add to their social networking website.
Ning.com
Ning is a very popular website which helps you to create your own community. Ning has both free and premium services. With free service itself the users can enjoy almost all features they want on their website. You can add any type of media files, events, groups etc. and also arrange them by simple drag and drop! You can register for custom domain as well (registering for custom domain is not free)
SocialGO.com
Another website which is integrated with internet giants like Google Adsense, Yahoo Local Maps, PayPal, FaceBook and Twitter. But with free account you can only enjoy very few features of the program. You’ll only have 1GB of storage and 10GB of bandwidth. Even with their ‘Concierge’ package which costs $149.99/mo there is only 10GB of storage and 100GB of bandwidth! With a free account you cannot have your own URL or cannot run your own ads, No access to Widget store and no live audio/video chats! There will also be the ads of SocialGo on your network and to remove it you have to sign up for a starter account of $4.99, starter account is almost same as a free account, only difference is that you can remove SocialGo ads. But this is good for business since you can have registration fees for your network and premium services, and this helps you to earn more from your network!
CrowdVine.com
CrowdVine is also a good website to try. It is simple and easy. You can add lots of features. It has got so many features that help you to find the people you want. They also have features to help you to communicate with other users easily. CrowdVine focus on the better communication and interaction of the members. The best thing of CrowdVine is that they’ll design the social networking site just the way you want it to be, just show them your website and they’ll design a social networking website which looks just like your website!
Kickapps.com
Kickapps is not a free service (you can have a 30 day free trial). If you’re looking for a professional network you may use Kickapps. It has all the features a social networking site must have. They aim on communication and sharing. There are three packages or plans, and the minimum amount required for the package is $39.95/mo.
So these are some good websites that you can try. It will be a real fun for friends and family to have their own social networking website. There is no doubt that these social networking websites gives us more privacy.
