From the discussion so far, I have gathered he wants to build *a* social networking site and not *many*. In such case he will need only *one* domain e.g. foobar.com. IMO, registering a domain name should be the first thing on his agenda. The OP also needs to figure how much he is willing to pay; that is not clear from the discussions so far. IMO, he should select a hosting solution based on his budget. As someone else has suggested AWS, I agree. IIRC, AWS offers a one year free micro instance. -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
