Membership in a website offers many advantages for the website owner. You can provide an exclusive member features that work only if anyone has already become a member. This is to increase their recurring visits on your website. 

If you sell online, The recurring visits of the members will create more chance for them to buy your stuffs. They will probably click the buy button on your site at their 2nd or 3rd visit.

To make this membership works on your site, You need a user login panel and also a hosting service that will host your site and back up all your data (eq Web hosting and PHP, MySql system).
