Without a doubt, the modern Web is a social Web. With its mind-blowing 850 million users (and counting), Facebook is just the tip of the social iceberg.

It doesn’t really matter what you focus on, as long as you find a topic that brings people together. You don’t even have to engage a huge number of users to create a lucrative social network. You just need to master your market segment.

Certified Hosting offers several social network hosting solutions that are ideal for creating niche social websites. Dolphin, Elgg, StatusNet, and E-Friends are just a few of the powerful applications that you can use to build an attractive social page. Need help to get started?
