There are basically two types of membership sites. There are free
sites and there are paid for sites. The two types of membership
sites have one thing is common. Their memberships are made up
of people who share a common interest or have a common need.

You can, of course, buy a domain, set up a website and not
charge for memberships but choose who to admit and who not to
admit. This is done when the profit is intended to come from sales
to members after they join the site. There are free network sites
that might be used for your purposes.  Two examples of free
membership sites are Group sites on MSN and groups on Yahoo.
It costs nothing to set these sites up and there is no charge at
all for a person to join. There are no paid administrators or
moderators.

Each site sets its own rules for how to join and the code of
conduct for the site. The site topics are many and varied. There
are many support” sites for those with health problems or concerns
and for those who have suffered the loss of loved ones. There are
sites for those who are passionate about crafts like quilting or
woodworking. There are sites for those who love to travel. There
are sites for different age groups from teens to seniors. The sites
include chat software and a limited amount of space for posting
pictures, documents and links per member. 

The free sites do not have such things as access to specialized
data or lists. They don’t give access to such things as music
lessons.  Paid for membership sites are set up by businesses or
individuals with the objective of making money by supplying hard
to find information, access to specialized data or lists, or
instruction in various fields. Membership sites are owned and
operated by people who either own the sites or who are hired by
the site owners to monitor and administer them. The topics for
paid for membership sites are even more varied than the free
sites and certainly more specialized.
