best Web hosting and gui for photos

7 replies
I am a longtime reader and i just registered, lots of great content here so thanks for everything!

Question; What is the best hosting site and gui for a website i want to create where members or guests can upload images, and comment on them etc. Similiar to imgur.com but obviously a lot smaller as i start up. I dont have a domain yet but am planning on buying one from go daddy. I have html css js knowledge but it seems like there are so many already existing gui's out there it may be easier to do that. Anyone have any expirence in this area? Thanks for any suggestions!

    I think it depends on what the purpose of your site is.

    As far as hosting goes, with a lot of images you're going to want a CND (Content Delivery Network). With tons of images, not caching is going to literally kill your performance. My recommendation is to find a web host that is a CloudFlare Partner.

    just a compilation of certain categories of images. Once traffic gets going maybe think about linking in with adscense and affiliations.

      Doesn't appear to be. Seems like I'm the only one who gave you any relevant info. What's your budget & location preference?

    Id say around 5 to 10 bucks a month to start off for hosting. If more traffic was being generated after awhile id be willing to pay more.

      Well being that there are no other responses here but ours, I do know where you can find the hosting you're looking for. I can't directly advertise, but feel free to browse our site and compare our plans with other web hosts.

      I'd say starting off with a quality web host, 5GB or so would be sufficient to start. With lots of images, you definitely need to consider CloudFlare. A lot of our customers use it, enable it right from our cPanels and they love it.

      Let me know if you have any other questions.
