Dating Site

[Naiwen]

So I want to open up a dating site between foreigners and Asians, as I understand, some have an obsession with Asia and would like an Asian wife. So, what I want to do is to monetize it, but do you have any suggestions for me as to what platforms I should be using? (free ones and free host).

You can use platforms like Wordpress to host you website. And I would rather suggest you to host on a paid hosting service to host you domain as you will get more space to hold your website database. You will get security and a good bandwidth for your visitors.
