We appreciate your business and the opportunity to bring social media services at competitive rates. However, like all companies, we face increases in costs each year. We have a percentage of uniquely successful customers with large numbers of memberships that require the storage and delivery of large amounts of content. As a result, it has become necessary to increase rates on those networks requiring larger storage space on our servers.
In order to continue providing the best service to our top tier customers and our network as a whole, we are compelled to adjust our subscription plans in 2016 to address the increasing costs associated with maintaining our Ning infrastructure. As a result, we are taking the following actions:
- Instituting a 100,000 membership cap and a 500 GB data storage limit on the Ning 2.0 Pro plan
- Instituting a 10 GB data storage limit on the Ning 3.0 Basic plan
- Instituting a 50 GB data storage limit on the Ning 3.0 Performance plan
- Instituting a 100 GB data storage limit on the Ning 3.0 Ultimate plan
- Implementing a new tier of subscription plans to support our top tier networks
As of January 1, 2016 the new subscription plans will go into effect for both Ning 2.0 and Ning 3.0 networks and our subscription plan structure will be as follows:

We’ve begun reaching out to the Network Creators of the largest networks and will continue to reach out to Network Creators currently exceeding either the storage or member limits in the coming months. If you have not received an email from us regarding your network's member count or storage, you do not have to select a new plan.
For those who have received an email, you will have the following options:
- Elect to continue your Ning subscription under one of the new plans. The new plan will go into effect on the date specified in the email you receive from Ning, and your monthly invoice will reflect the new rate. Your plan will renew monthly until canceled (you can reference our cancellation policy here: http://www.ning.com/billingpolicy/). Previous annual plans will be credited for the amount of any unused portion. Payment for the new plan will be collected from the default payment method associated with your account.
- Elect to remain on your current plan, removing members or content to remain within your plan’s stated limits. Removing inactive members and their content will lower your network’s member count and storage space on our servers.
- Elect to cancel your Ning subscription. If you elect to cancel your subscription, you may do so at any time before the date specified in the email you receive from Ning. (You can reference our cancellation policy here: http://www.ning.com/billingpolicy/). Annual plans will be issued a prorated refund for the unused portion of your subscription.
Prior to canceling your membership, you may contact Ning customer support to assist with archiving your network’s content.
Please notify us of your election to continue your subscription under the new plan or to cancel it by replying to the email address contained in the email by the specified date. If we do not receive your election by the date specified in the email, we will deem your membership cancelled and will terminate your membership effective the specified cutoff date.
We regret having to take these actions, however, we have no choice in order to maintain the Ning service for our members. We appreciate and thank you for your understanding in this matter.

Leave now!!!!! Go to Jamroom...it gets better every day :) http://americymrunet.jamroomhosting.com/top-fifty-youtube-music-videos
Hello Ceri shaw I'm thinking move to jamroom.com i have a quiestion jamroom is a open to PHP? so you can modific?
You can do anything with custom modules. You can directly edit templates and there is a built in Form Designer which allow you to adapt, customise and fine tune almost all aspects of your site. There is also an intuitive and easy to use page builder (similar to Ning and also somewhat similar to the Gantry framework on Joomla) . Having said that the page I link dropped above (which allows users and visitors to vote up their favorite music videos on a customised top 50 page) didn't require much work. In fact that can be achieved using the pre set options in the site builder widget maker. So far as I know nothing like this is available on any other platform. It is always difficult to balance adaptability and ease of use. Imho Jamroom has scored a bullseye :)
Thank you for the info Ceri shaw :) today i will create my account on jamroom :) my borther wants to open a network for videos like youtube :)
You're welcome :)
im looking for a better platform with events and videos
I raised the fact that Ning imply that they have a Ning3 archiver several weeks ago on the SteveH thread about this issue. If they have, and I can get a copy of the archive, we can see about importing it to JR.
SO anyone know about what was the storage limit before this? for member?
