shared, vps and dedicated hosting powered by Family Connections

Family Connections is a social networking platform that is designed to make fairly small, private social networks. To put it simply, this would be something like a Facebook, but just for your family. This is great for families who love staying in touch, but don’t want all their pictures, posts and other things out there on a public site like Facebook. It is designed to be simple so that just about anyone with even a little bit of experience can run their own page.

While designed for families, it can be used to create private social networking sites for businesses, small groups, and other things as well. While it doesn’t have a lot of the advanced features that other platforms have, it serves this niche quite well and is a wonderful choice for many people.

Family Connections Pros

Privacy
This system is focused on keeping everything private, and they do a good job with that goal.
Small
While not necessarily a ‘Pro’ for all uses, it is helpful for those who just want to keep their family or friends in touch. The small size also makes it easier to run on a shared hosting platform.
Price
This system is free to use for your family websites. They do have a donate button, but it is completely optional.

Family Connections Cons

Updates
This system is updated by developers, but not very often. It doesn’t necessarily need frequent updates, but it would be nice to see them coming out at least every few months.
Basic
It is designed to be a fairly basic social networking system. If you are looking for something with tons of advanced features, this is not it.

Family Connections Review

Initial Install
Getting your family social network up and running is extremely easy. You can use the one click installation that is included with all hosting packages from InterServer to complete the initial install. Once that is done, the back end page allows you to set up and modify everything all in one place. They have done a good job at making this a simple to use platform since many of the users are not going to have a lot of experience running this type of site. The simplicity is nice, but it also puts some limitations on what the platform can do.
Plugins
There are not very many plugins or mods available for this platform. You can have them developed on your own if you wish, but for most people it is going to just be sticking with the basic features available. They do have some nice built-in features that other platforms are lacking though, such as a family tree maker. Overall, if you are looking to do a lot of adding on to the system, this is not going to be the best platform for you.
Themes
They have a nice theme system available, which will allow you to adjust the way your site looks and feels. There aren’t very many themes developed though, so you’ll need to have your own made if you want to get a custom look. Things like color scheme, pictures, icons and more can all be customized using the normal admin features though, so you may not even need to use a theme to get a nice looking site for your family’s social network.
Customization
You can customize most things on the site using just the options on the admin panel. If you really want to adjust things further, you’re not going to have too many options unless you can get into the back end coding yourself, or have someone do it for you. Most people, however, will be happy with the features that are set up right out of the box.
SEO Friendly
This platform is not set up for SEO at all. It is designed to be a private social network so you really don’t want your site to rank well (if at all) in the search engines. If you are looking to get traffic from search engines, this certainly isn’t the right platform for you.
Cost of Running
You can run Family Connections free of charge for as long as you want. You will need a hosting package, but since it is a smaller system you can use an entry level shared package from InterServer. These hosting packages are very affordable, and make running this platform very inexpensive.

Final Thoughts

For people who want to have a great social network set up for use by their family, small group, small business or other set of people, this is a very nice option. It has a decent amount of nice features, though is lacking some more advanced options. It is a very private option, which is exactly what many people want for their families. If you are looking for something more advanced or public, choose another social network platform, otherwise, it is a great option to consider.
