A simple tutorial to create an image hosting website .

Steps to create an image hosting website

1.First of all, you need a domain name and webhosting. Try godaddy.com or name.com. For hosting, get builthost.com or ezwayhost.com. You can use other services, but be sure the plans support PHP/MYSQL as this is a requirement for most image hosting scripts.

2.You need an image hosting script. I recommend the multi file hosting script from mihalism.com. I will use the script for tutorial purpose.

3.Unzip the files into target folder on the remote server. Configure the database setting and setup the mysql database.

4.CHMOD 777 for the image upload folder.

5.Start the installation by accessing the index.php directly.

6.Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

7.You can access the administration panel by clicking “login” in the site with you administrator account.

8.At the control panel, you can configure the user permission, file size, image types and miscellaneous setting.
