    Hi, I have couple of unique ideas for a dating site that I want to start but I'm tight on money now. I wanted to know if anyone can recommend a cheap and quality way to start a dating site. If you have examples of your site please post.

    Buy your domain name and hosting with Godaddy using a coupon. Will cost about $50-100

    Next install a free content-management system, dating site script or other social networking system. I use Joomla for my websites but there are a lot of different free ones. Just search google for "best open source dating site" or "best content management system for dating site" or "free open source cms for dating site"

    Start promoting the heck out of your site on as many free networks as you can.

    Good luck!

    You can download a free dating script like osDate. You can then make some changes and add your own unique look. There are also a lot of cheap templates you can use to customize this script.

    Thanks for the help so far. I do not have any program experience so where can I get help for installing these scripts and when bugs pop up.

    There are many free dating open source CMS. It is easy way to start a dating site. If you have SEO or web development skills it will be easier. Don't forget about web hosting, most likely you will need reliable VPS with high bandwidth and a lot of space.

    You hire ѕоmеоne thаt сan do database-driven websites. Otherwise, don’t bother.

    See, thiѕ іs why website engineers make good money, becаusе you can’t start websites like this wіthout anу experience whatsoever.

    See hоw thаt works?

    You can hire a developing team, but good luck, the good ones are in development of a script they can sell in bulk, always upgrading and updating. It's better and more cost effiencent to buy something off the shelf and has members included

    Maybe check into some of the website flipping sites like Flippa.com . Some web designer / developer may be selling the kind of site you seek. Just bid or buy it ready-made, and then customize it some more when you can.
