What's your business plan to pay the bill of the developers you need to hire to make all of this?

I want a site where folks can come together to discuss topics of interest- like social networking. Upon a recommendation from a web techie friend, I started a site with one host and became quickly disappointed. Most of their new version is in Beta and I do not want to wait until they finish getting their product finished. So, I am starting over again.
I am looking for a hosting service where my members can search for each other based on common factors such as area. I want tiered membership- a free level and then an upgraded level (paid) I want a multi level forum, groups, gallery, and other content pages.
I have some website experience but not a lot and it was all on static pages. So I am in new territory here. Any advice would be appreciated.
