Need to upload a bunch of photos

[Gautama2]

I have about 50 photos of the 1440x900 resolution all of about 1mb each. I want to upload these to a website that will show all of them, like an album, without it reducing the resolution or quality.

Get some free webspace from this guy:

Set up a Gallery2 gallery (easy to install in cPanel) and upload via FTP.

I have no idea how to do that lol.


Explain what kind of hosting I should get from him.

Go to the thread and gfollow the instructions and he'll e-mail you the info for your hosting. After that, log in and there's something called fantastico that will install the gallery for you.

Just go to that thread and email dartworth. He will set you up some webspace (600mb of it). He will send you an address you can visit that will give you access to cPanel, which is just a control panel for your webspace. From there you can install a Gallery script (it's very, very easy, just a couple of clicks). That will give you a Gallery2 image gallery where you can upload your photos.

"For DirectAdmin, you can choose from the following subdomains:

So, my website name would be something like www.myhostingsite.athost.us correct?

Read very carefully.

After dartworth has created your free web hosting account login to DirectAdmin by going here: your URL:2222 for example http://gautama2.adaptfree.com:2222

In the bottom right click Installatron, select one of the gallery scripts either coppermine or gallery then click new install, select a directory like gallery, coppermine, pics, images, whatever you want and follow the instructions. 30 seconds later it's done installing and you can begin uploading pictures.
