What is Ning?

Ning is a website builder for creating a custom social network around a specific interest or community. It offers a drag and drop network builder along with blogs, photo and video sharing, message boards, event calendars and email broadcasts, aimed at giving community organizers a branded space they design and control. Monetization tools such as paid memberships and donations let owners generate revenue directly from their network.

Pricing is organized into four tiers, Starter, Basic, Performance and Ultimate, that scale by member limit and storage, with higher tiers unlocking custom HTML design, custom domain mapping and expanded API access. Every plan includes a 14 day free trial that can be cancelled without charge, and annual billing saves about 20% versus paying monthly.
