Peter Fabian from Ottawa wants to create a social website?

Jun 6, 2012 5:04PM PDT

Hello guys

I'm questioning the best way to make a website such as "orkut" or "Facebook", on which anyone can sign-up a free account, log-in and post some things like video clips, textual content or images.

- What type of application do you recommend to create such a website?
- What might be the simplest way to host this site

I know little about website-building, but I have never identified any program providing these features such as log-in zone + account, and so on.)

Thanks for your help

Hello Peterfabianottawa,



All the Social networking websites like "Facebook" or "Orkut" are developed with the help of HTML, XML ,CSS ,JavaScript (jQuery AJAX) and PHP. You can easily learn all the above mentioned scripting languages.

For hosting your website there are many free or with a little cost web hosting service providers at Ottawa in Canada.

You can contact them for the same.

thanks
