Hello all,

One point of interest that I have found with potential clients that would allow me to reach a new market segment is to offer something similiar to what webshots does. I.E. a photo gallery area. Obviously there are lots of freebies out on the market, GPL, etc. I haven't had the time to take a look at them, so I'm looking for thoughts and opinions on which is the best.

What I would like to do with this is create a 'hosting' area that allows people to sign up for photo hosting where they can upload X amount of photos inside of Y amount of space for Z amount per month. What is the best way to go about this?

Hi Brad

Not sure if you have your own Server(s) or a reseller plan but the easiest option would be Fantastico Deluxe which has

4images Gallery (1.7.1)
Coppermine Photo Gallery (1.3.4)
Gallery (1.5-pl1)

That way your clients can set up and manage their own galleries within the resources of the plan they are on ;)

Thanks for the info. I own my own servers and would like to have something installed for clients that they could manage themselves. I checked out Fantastico Deluxe but only found webhosts that offered them and not installer files or anything for those. I use RedHat Ent. 3

Hi Brad

You have to buy a licence for Fantastico then install it on your servers

eg We use CPanel on our servers and it integrates with that and other control panels

Bawalker,
If you are looking for customer installable scripts it really depends on whether you are using a control panel or not. Fantastico is for cpanel, Plesk has there own integrated option, along with Hsphere.

If you are not using a control panel then the options become different. I'm not sure if there is a software out there to do as you are asking, and it may have to be custom built.

Currently I use DirectAdmin 1.4 for my control panel.
