@Anna: Unfortunately with a lot of providers you will need to rebuild the basic features of your site. However the benefit of going with Webs is that once you export your network members to a CSV file you can easily send them an automated invitation to the new Webs site using our Email Blast tool.

@JayGame: You can set in your members app instead of auto approve your site members, to manually approve as someone signs-up. That way you control who has access.

@JayGame: New member requests will show up in your Members App with option to Approve or Deny

@Philip: You will need to recreate your content on Webs as we do not provide migration tools. However, inviting your current members over to the new Webs site will be very easy as Ning provides simple steps for exporting member information:
1. Log in to your Ning network
2. Go the Manage tab and under “Manage your members” section click on Members button
3. On the bottom right hand side of the members page click on Export All Member Data (.CSV)
4. Click OK to start export on the message that pops-up.

Once you have this file, go to Members App in Webs and send all your members invitation by copying all email addresses and pasting them into our email tool.

We have a File Manager tool where you can upload files for your site. However we do not have a tool that specifically takes all your images and places them throughout the site.
