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.

              • Agreed! So it's time to get serious about moving. 2.0 was a great site but they've done their best to mess that up.

                  • Do a search.....................sheesh.  I'm sorry but people ask when they can just search..........

                  • I'll have to check that one out. I've been dreading moving but I, like all of you don't want to lose our hard earned work! And I'm not even near as tech savvy as you all but ning made it easier for someone like me to build a site *sigh*
                • Yep  great God or devil Ning fucks us again  . How long have we been on Ning sacrifice money which we really need to do what we are doing just to get screwed again NOT everyone is rich

  • I wish I never started with them, they are so ruthless its bizarre

  • Hi Peoples

    I can't believe this price increase and being given such short notice - am recovering from major surgery and have a house move pending - stressful!

    Thank you for mentioning Jamroom - going to investigate their services. They have a Ning-To-Jamroom link and I just posted a question on there and it was answered within 20 minutes - impressive service!

    Q. How Easy Is It To Move A Ning 2.0 Site To Jamroom?

    Like many other Ning Creators, I've been notified that the prices have more than doubled and I don't ask members to contribute towards the cost and wish to move my site elsewhere.
    I created it approx. 7 years ago and don't want to lose the community and all their hard work. My site focuses on members' photos and all the comments other members contribute - if I switched to JamRoom, would those comments be retained?
    Haven't got a clue what to do next - any help much appreciated. Haven't got a clue how to start....
    Thank you for any insight.

    Answer:

    Hi Sam - Welcome to Jamroom
    Importing a Ning2 site to Jamroom is fairlt straightforward and we have full documention on how to do this -https://www.jamroom.net/ning-to-jamroom/documentation/contents - However, a working knowledge of server admin, FTP, etc. is needed to do this.
    What I'd recommend is to use one of our Hosted packages whereupon you'll get free access to all Jamroom modules and skins, as well as VIP support etc., and then to purchase one of our import services and we'll then grab your Ning2 archive and do it all for you.
    Checkout the "What you need to know" section of the above docs. for what is imported but in answer to your specific question, yes, all photos and their comments are imported.
    Also checkout our default skins that you'll have access to with our Hosted plans -https://www.jamroom.net/demos - maybe PhotoPro would be a good starting point for your imported site? -http://demo.jamroom.net/jrPhotoPro/
    If you want, create a support ticket here and let me have your Ning2 site address and admin login and I'll assess your site and let you know what Hosted and Import service packages you would need.
    Hope this helps

    • Don't get all giddy.  Nothing is ever that simple I've tried Jamroom three times.  One thing they don't talk about in their posts is their cost.  To build a site equal to a 2.0 is BIG.  Not all the addons are free and boy, do they add up.  I can't believe the hundreds I ended up spending there (based on other Creators raving a/b them) and I tried it three times and walked away each time.  Try to tweak even the littlest thing like a color took me forever to even find it.  Yes, they're fast in answering initially but then you're left flapping in the wind; alone.  I went insane bugging people who were struggling themselves.  The fact it too Strumelia six months to go live should tell you boatloads.  Smart guys but they're stuck in developer mode.  It's nothing at all like Ning.  Not by a mile.
