What is s2Member?
s2Member is an extremely powerful ( and free ) membership management system for WordPress®. The s2Member Framework ( free ) integrates seamlessly with PayPal® ( very easy ), and fully supports recurring billing, with the ability to track affiliate commissions on a recurring basis. s2Member supports custom Pages for registration ( including Custom Registration Fields ), account access, and a whole lot more.
s2Member supports Free Subscribers ( at Level #0 ), and up to four Primary Membership Levels, [1-4]; plus unlimited Custom Capability Packages. Custom Capabilities allow you to create an unlimited number of Membership Packages, all with different Capabilities and prices. You can label your Membership Levels anything you like. The defaults are Free, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.
s2Member allows you to protect Pages, Posts, Tags, Categories, URIs, URI word fragments, URI Replacement Codes for BuddyPress, Specific Post/Page “Buy Now” Access, and even portions of content within Posts/Pages/themes/plugins. Everything is configurable through the s2Member Options Panel. This makes s2Member VERY easy to integrate into any WordPress®-powered site. With s2Member, you can also protect downloadable files, using special restrictions on how many downloads can occur within a certain amount of time; all based on Membership Level.
Each Membership Level can have different restrictions, and you could even integrate Conditionals within your content based on Member Level. Advanced code samples are provided under s2Member -> API Scripting -> Advanced Conditionals. s2Member has been fully integrated with the Roles & Capabilities that are already built into WordPress®. No new tables 
It is designed to be completely seamless, without code bloat. We’ve carefully structured the entire framework, in order to maximize s2Member’s ability to operate with other plugins installed. For instance, s2Member is compatible with BuddyPress.
You can also sell Specific Post/Page Access ( membership not required ), using “Buy Now” buttons. You can even package multiple Posts/Pages together into one “Buy Now” transaction. Further details are provided under s2Member -> PayPal® Buttons -> Special Posts/Pages.
New! – s2Member Pro is an add-on module for the free version of s2Member. s2Member Pro adds PayPal® Pro integration, a PayPal® Pro Form Generator, advanced User Import/Export tools, and more. Your purchase of s2Member Pro includes free lifetime upgrades.
Well, i m trying to play around with this plug in. I will update this blog soon.
Update.
I got error when install s2Member via wordpress plugin.
Auto-installing through WordPress® ( memory errors? )
This depends on your hosting provider and/or server configuration. Some web hosting companies impose very low limits on the amount of memory available to WordPress® during the execution of a single script. Since s2Member is a larger plugin, WordPress® may exceed conservative limits set forth by shared hosting companies. Don’t feel bad, it’s a very common problem. The solution is to install manually, using the instructions above. Memory limits only affect the WordPress® auto-installation routine, not the actual functionality of WordPress® or s2Member.
Well, the solution is try to install manually via ftp upload. This is probably due to limit in the server setting.
I would like to try the paypal solution
