Re: Building your own website
My website is hosted with Homestead by Intuit (who make Quickbooks). It comes with a website builder, free email addresses, and ftp file storage, and costs about $24.00/month.
The site builder is easy to use, and the ftp storage is really useful as an off-site server, or for file swapping with other consultants |

Used to produce the most HIDEOUS bloated HTML there was. I could do a page identical to one it farted out in that was half the size - which was important @ 56kbps.........

Re: Building your own website
I have used 2 galleries in the past, the one i am with now and by far the best non commission charging website www.ifp3.com you pay a yearly subscription. The other site i had before i switched over to the ifp3 one was made in flash but my old gallery still works but looks carp in comparison to my new one That was done in gallery1.
http://samnooshka.com/gallery/main.php - my old one www.samnooshka.com - my new one. Unfortunately i had a hard time finding a website that i can host my photos on without paying a commission for any photos sold. Last edited by Samnooshka; 09-02-09 at 08:16 AM. |

Re: Building your own website
If you want to maintain your site yourself the use a CMS system that allows you to plug in a photogallery and other useful stuff.
Take a look my site (run for a social group/charity) - it's built with xoops and is open-source and free. The photo gallery is based on Coppermine. You'll need webspace with php and a MySQL database. PM me if you have questions. |

Re: Building your own website
+1
What is wrong with vi? OK, I use a couple of IDEs for coding on a PC Eclipse/Oracle Jdeveloper and visualstudio. But after coding since well before buggy bill started in his garage, I can honestly say I have never used notepad. for PHP I use ultraedit. I got a licence key with a magazine about 8 years ago and still use it. it handles hex/ascii and can even cut/past columns I have a reseller account with 5quidhost.co.uk, they offer some excellent services and can quickly establish accounts with unlimited MySql databases, coppermine and gallery for photo hosting, php, blogs cms including joomla, mambo, xoops etc.

Also, wordpress is free software. Always go for a hosted version of wordpress, rather than the free .wordpress.com sub-domain site you can have. PM me if you need any advice. |

Re: Building your own website
One of my mates helped me configure Coppermine (http://coppermine-gallery.net/) to display my photos from Brands Hatch. (http://www.photos.crets.org.uk/index.php?cat=6) It's based on PHP and CSS, so it's customisable. I'm hoping to get a tutorial on how to customise for myself sometime soon. You could easily put this behind your main page to serve up the galleries.
As a general thought, be sure to pick a provider who allows plenty of space and bandwidth without racking up extra charges. 1Gb sounds like a lot, but decent high-res photos use lots of space. Just my thoughts, Keith. |
