I want to start an image hosting site...

[imported_Pablo]

While I don't have the bandwidth for places like Anandtech, I've got some space (via 1&1 hosting) that I would like to use as an image hosting service. Does anybody have any recommendations for how I should do this? I am a member of a couple of ATV forums, and I want the interface to be relatively simple so EVERYONE can use it. I also am not the best at tinkering around with code and stuff... but if I need to, I can do it. Anybody know what kind of resources are out there so i don't have to code the whole thing?

Thanks in advance...

Paul

No, it's going to cost you a lot of money. Reread my reply.

if it's software you're talking about it's all about gallery

rbloedow is talking about space and bandwidth, it's expensive if you're planning on having a lot of people use your site.

yeah i'm just looking for software... only about 100 users or so... so hopefully nobody posts a 10 meg tif on ATOT

How is it going to cost him a penny since:

1) 1and1.com offered FREE WEB HOSTING for 3 years with 500MB/5GB.
2) A domain is not required.

Total cost = 0

Here are over 200 image gallery scripts.

I should have known....

Next time I'll just PM Rossman... He did hook me up with the hosting after all...

Thanks. I'll check those out!

PabloMartinez,

Good luck using the (suck ass and slow) 1and1 control panel

I would recommend DAlbum which is used on membo.org (the guy who was offering 800MB free uses it).

yeah interface is a bit quirky, and the numeric logins throw me for a loop, but since its free, i can learn to work around it I'll check out that DAlbum...

How much bandwidth do you get per month with your 1&1 account?

are you going to call it "Pablo Martinez' Picture Fiesta"?

lol you stereotyping bigot. :sarcasm;

I'll check and see what the stats are on the 1&1 account when I get back home this evening.

For multi-user photo galleries I'd recommend
The Exhibit Engine free
Gallery free
PhotoPost $129
Albinator $99

DAlbum was never built with multi-user in mind. Someday it may be more managable (I hope so) but then again maybe not. Main reason is it's not database driven so you can't do quotas, ratings, popularity, etc.
