SocialCo Media
Hosted community platform

Run a membership community without building the platform.

Profiles, feeds, groups, chat and video, media hosting, moderation, age verification and billing, on one platform we have run our own communities on since 2008. You bring the brand and the members. We run everything else.

Inside the product

The screens your members use every day.

These are the real member app with your logo in place of ours. Names and photos are sample data.

Live chat rooms

Rooms you create, with a live member list beside the conversation.

  • See who is in the room, who is idle and who has a camera on
  • Photos, GIFs, replies, reactions and whispers in the room
  • Rooms can require verification or a paid level to enter
  • Moderators kick, ban and remove messages from the room itself

Member directory

Search that helps people find each other instead of scrolling.

  • Filter by distance, age, interests, trust score and who is online
  • Cards show tenure, last seen, friends and photos at a glance
  • Saved searches and trending members
  • Friend, message or report straight from the card

  • Control search listing, search engines, online status and messages
  • Per-member video call permission
  • Notification, accessibility and media watermark settings in the same place

Trust and safety

Moderation tooling that assumes your community will be attacked.

Spam, ban evasion, underage sign-ups and illegal content are a matter of when. The platform ships with the workflow for each, and our own staff have used every piece of it.

  • Reports and sanctions. Member reports counted per distinct reporter, warnings, a ban ladder, and every action logged and reversible.
  • Investigations. Ban-evasion matching on device, network and behavior signals, with staff review before any sanction.
  • Age assurance. Third-party age verification at sign-up or on demand, with an underage hold that freezes an account until a human decides.
  • Automatic scanning. Every upload is classified before it goes public; staff see only what the scanner could not clear.
  • Legal cases. A controlled workflow for preserving evidence and filing mandatory reports, separated from day-to-day moderation.

Report dialog on a post with a reason selected

Every post, photo, message and profile has a Report action. Child-safety reports jump the queue.

How a launch works

From signed order to live community in about four weeks.

Most of the time goes to your content and your decisions. The software is already running.

Brand and domain

Your domain, logo, colors and wording. Public pages, member app, staff console and email all take the brand.

Rules and plans

Membership levels and prices, what free members can see, community rules, age policy, which rooms and features are on.

Import

Members, photos, posts and subscriptions migrated from your current platform with our tooling. Passwords carry over where the hashes allow; otherwise members get a one-time reset.

Launch and operate

DNS cutover with redirects from every old URL. From then on we run hosting, backups, deploys, monitoring and on-call.

Pricing

A flat platform fee plus a share of paid memberships.

No per-seat pricing and no surprise bandwidth bills. You keep your member data and can export it at any time.

Payment processing fees are charged by the processor at their published rates and are not part of the revenue share. Migration from an existing platform is quoted separately, typically between $5,000 and $25,000 depending on the size and condition of the data.

Questions

The things people ask before a demo.

Who owns the members and the content?

You do. Member accounts, posts, photos, messages and payment history belong to your business. You can export everything in standard formats at any time, and if you leave we hand over a complete export and delete our copies on a written schedule.

Can you host adult or age-restricted communities?

Yes. The platform was built for communities where age-gating matters. Age verification, mandatory review of uploads, and the legal reporting workflow exist because we needed them ourselves. We do not host communities that break the law or that our payment partners will not process.

Where does it run and what is the uptime?

On servers we own and manage in North American data centers, behind an edge network for static and media delivery. Each service is monitored with alerting to an on-call engineer. We commit to 99.9% monthly availability for the member app in the Growth and Network plans, with service credits in the contract.

Which payment processors do you support?

Card processors that serve membership and age-restricted businesses, plus cryptocurrency. Accounts are opened in your company name, so your payouts come to you directly. We handle the integration, rebills, declines, refunds and chargeback responses.

Can we move from our current platform without losing members?

That is the normal case. We import accounts, content and active subscriptions, keep every old URL working with redirects, and run both platforms in parallel until you flip DNS. Members whose password hashes we can read sign in as before; the rest get a one-time reset link.

Can we customize the design?

Brand, colors, logo, wording, navigation and which features are visible are all configurable. The page layouts are shared across communities on the platform; custom layouts are a Network-plan project with a quote.

What do we have to staff ourselves?

Community management and moderation decisions. We run the infrastructure and give you the tooling, queue ranking and automatic scanning, but a person on your side approves content, answers tickets and decides sanctions. Most communities under 50,000 members run on one part-time moderator.
