    Totally agree with Peterverkooijen.

    Remember that the freedom and control over you stuff that you get thanks to a self-hosted platform (like BuddyPress) is really priceless.

    Before you start your net you could try playing around with it enough to master the basics and more.

    If you have used WP, you will have no issues at all installing and running BP.

    Stay away from Ning, SocialGo and other external providers, they wanna make money out of it, dont forget it.

    Dreamhost all the way,

    Been with them for 4 years now. Their servers are optimized to work with WordPress (and WPMU if you get a dedicated server), therefore Buddypress is a piece of cake. Their shared servers are really good actually, you get the best plans (seriously the stuff you can do is a lot more than the usual hosting package), and really good prices.

    I may experience about 2-3 downtimes a year, which are usually for maintenance, seldom for hardware failure.

    Plus, the guys at support really know what they’re doing and they can fix about anything really quickly, or even move you instantly to another server if it’s not working… and you dont have to do anything! :)

    Ah!

    Since the only thing that changed was that i updated the plugin Like for BP, i tried to disable that and… everything was fine again.

    I have no clue how the plugin like can mess up permissions like that… but i had to disable it, until it’s fixed.
