I’ve been paying $99/US per month for an amazing membership site service by Extreme Member. They provide hosting (no downloads, installs, etc), protected content via Wordpress, many membership level options (free, trial periods, etc), affiliate marketing, email marketing, forums – all integrated in one solution. At my guitar lesson membership site, it would take 5 members per month just to cover the costs of the software.

I just happened to find out that they now offer a $19/month offering as well as $49, $79 and $99/month. The main differences between the levels are the bandwidth, storage and member limits. So it’s a great way to start small and grow your site as you get new members. In my case one member will now pay for the entire site.
