If you are looking at starting the website, you may want to sign up on this site to get a web hosting package and a domain name. Depending on how you want to organize your site, there is an automated software installed called Softaculous that lets you select the software that you want to install and you'll be up and ready in no time.The web hosting packages vary and the most basic ones have PHP scripting support. If you want to use something like Adobe DreamWeaver, Microsoft Publisher, or even Microsoft Word to create and update the pages, you only need FTP access - that's easy to setup and you can probably create a helpdesk ticket to get help with doing it if you are not familiar with the cPanel setup. If you want to use a web-based tool, Softaculous comes into play and you can select a software package. If you hired a firm or a developer to build the website from the ground-up, which is not really necessary unless you have a specific requirement, then all you need to do is give them access to the database and an FTP account, both of which can be done through cPanel, or you can just give them your cPanel credentials and have the whole setup done for you by the hired party.

Alternatively you could install a dating script like osDate which you can download for free to try it.

It doesn't require special hosting feature as it only needs PHP 4.3.0 or higher, MySQL 4.0 or higher and a Flash 7 Player or highe installed on the users' browser. That's all it needs.

If you're not familiar with installing scripts to your hosted space, well, there's always a first time. Usually you'll find some instructions in the downloaded package of those software packages that would tell you how to set up the program.

The first think you need to do before any installation is to create a data base using the control panel. Every database has a name, a user name and a password. You will need to save those values as they're needed by the software you're installing.

One thing you should consider when using installed scripts is the security. You must make sure that your website is secure enough to run a reliable service.
