Crazy idea.the next big thing?

jasonk1234 · 08-06-2007, 05:33 PM

I have a crazy idea for a myspace, facebook, social bookmarking type of site.

the idea is fairly unique, I've never seen anything like it on the net before.

I don't have alot of $ or programming knowledge so I was wondering if someone knows of a website host that offers this style of template with easy editing features alot of bandwidth (because I know the members will come in droves) and a reasonable price.

Ive searched google many times for a host but can't really tell who's reliable.

thank's for your help

So you are going to build the next myspace and social bookmarking site on a cheap web host, with free editable templates?

jasonk1234 · 08-06-2007, 06:08 PM

uggh! my dreams crushed in a single sentence.lol

not a cheap web host just a reasonably priced one, and I was wondreing if any sites do offer myspace style templates, if not I have one I'm working on in flash but with my skill it could take me 6 months to finish making it and yes a free editible one would be more convenient.

Do I have a hope in hell of finding a host like this or should I start downloading flash tutorials and start saving up for expensive hosting?

I wouldn't use flash on a project like that, not on the interface anyway. Sounds like a good idea though

if not flash then what prgram would you recommend?

can you make a complete template in photoshop?

You can find free and paid social/dating networking site PHP scripts that you would install on your host. Since you don't have a lot of money or programming skills start out with a free script. Try and get familiar with customizing it and with a lot of work maybe you'll get to what you had in mind. Dolphin Smart Community Builder is an example of one that's under the GNU General Public License. Best of luck

thanks, I'll give it a shot

I don't want to be mean but I think you need to do more research and learn more html, php, css and web standards.

A pure flash site is not something you want for the masses.

Thanks for the advice, I've contacted them to see if they can help me with what I am looking for.
