Current status of the Ning Platform is always available on the Ning Status Blog.

Update:  This has been rolled back.  We will not be proceeding with the price increases to Ning Plus and Pro or discontinuing grandfathered Ning Mini subscriptions at this time.  More information on this can be found here.

As a continuation of the adjustments to our offered plans we began at the start of this year, we’re making the following changes to the plans offered for Ning 2.0, effective October 1, 2016:

  1. Retiring the Ning Mini plan.  We discontinued new Mini subscriptions in October 2012.  After keeping your Mini subscription and rates the same for nearly 4 years, we are now discontinuing all existing Ning Mini subscriptions.  Mini Network Creators will have the choice of upgrading to the Ning Plus or Ning Pro plans or canceling their network. Mini networks we don’t receive a response from prior to October 1st will be canceled and locked at the end of their current bill cycle.
  2. Increasing Ning Plus and Pro prices.  After five years, we are now raising our rates for both the Ning Plus and Pro plans, which have remained the same since July 2011.  Plus Network Creators will be able opt into the new Plus rates or cancel.  Pro Network Creators will be able to downgrade to Plus, opt into the new Pro rates, or cancel.  Plus and Pro networks we don’t receive a response from prior to October 1st will renew at the new rates, beginning their first bill cycle after October 1st, and will continue to renew until we receive a formal request for cancellation via phone or email.

In addition to the notification emails that went out today, we’ll be reaching out again shortly in subsequent email reminders with customized links that will allow you to accept this price increase or cancel your current plan.  In the meantime, please take a look at the FAQs below.  They should answer any questions you have about this, but we’ll do our best to clarify if they don’t.

How do I find out when my subscription renews?

You can find out what your bill cycle date is and when your subscription renews by logging into your Ning.com account, clicking the "See Billing & Invoice History" link, and viewing your invoices.

I’m on Ning 3.0, will my subscription fee go up, too?

No, we do not have plans to raise Ning 3.0 prices at this time. 

My Ning Plus/Pro – Annual subscription just renewed in July.  When will I see the new rates?

Your current subscription and its rates are valid through the end of your current bill cycle, through July 2017.  You will only see the new rates once your subscription renews next summer. 

My Ning Plus/Pro – Monthly subscription is set to renew September 20th.  When will I see the new rates?

Your subscription and its rates will be valid through the end of that bill cycle, through October 20th.  You will see the new rates once your October invoice posts.

What about add-on pricing?

There is not any change to add-on pricing or plans to change add-on pricing or subscriptions at this time.

I don’t want to continue my network.  How do I get my content?

You can archive your network's content with the Ning Network Archiver.  Head to My Network > Content > Archive on your network to install Adobe Air and the Ning Network Archiver on your computer.  More information about archiving your content can be found here.

          Forum etc failing was a design flaw / bug in the Ning to Buddypress importer I think you were using.
          • I had a developer try to create his own import tool and it too, failed at those levels.  He insisted Ning's json had too many errors.  Not having the time (or brain power) for Kimono, is there another work around?  Suggestions kind sir??????  (p.s. great to see you!  Hope all is going well in your new gig!)

            • NC for Hire
              All I know is that with patience the json files can be worked out. Kimono and import.io are the two most intuitive scrapers out there. You could also try parsehub.

              New gig going well. HighQ.com in case you're interested. I'm now on the other side :-)
              • hahahaha that's great to hear SP.  Love it when a plan works out. 

    • indeed thats a good one ...thats my problem, sooo much work .and thereby im a nerd by it al so im helpless ..

      my english is not that good . or must i  pay extra in 2017 for those months from oktober 2016 till july 2017 ?

  • I think most will leave

      I am starting to believe, that's exactly what they want. If they can get all of the Creators to abandon their sites, I suppose it's less risk for them with lawsuits (on the inability to export content, for example).

      • Yup

          This is what bothers me the most. A LOT of Ning 2.0 sites were all geared up to move to Ning 3.0. I had several Clients who were on the waiting list for the conversion. Then, Ning decided to stop the migration process, probably due to all the issues and lack of expertise (considering they ran off or got rid of all the original brilliant minds who built this platform). They promised for what, 2 years, that they would continue with migrations in the future. Yet, they did not. NOW, they force the Ning 2.0 sites to pay double or get out. And, to add insult to injury, the ones that did make it through the migration process, can't even archive their members and content. It's all so wrong, on so many levels. :\

          • Agree. Unfortunately, it's all of our "What if things went bad" conversations from years ago.... coming true. This is exactly what they want. Let it shrivel up and walk away. I'm sooooooo glad I pulled the plug on things and stopped annual billing. Now it's sit back and watch the world burn. Pass the popcorn :)
