Web Hosting for Coppermine photo Album?

[Travis]

I read through the list of requirements for this software (Web Server + PHP + MySQL + IM/GD) I have to ask what web hosting providers offer all these features?  What web hosts do all of you use to run CPG?

[Joachim Müller]

greatly depends on your location (this board is being visited by people from all over the world - I doubt you want to know about my german webhost unless you're from Germany as well).
The choice of webhosts also depends on other factors, hard to say what will fit your needs. Do some searching in your country, I'm sure there are pages decidacted to help you choose the right webhost for you.

I am currently hosting with http://www.wescris.com and they do a great job for my gallery http://www.toddwoolums.com/gallery

Although in the UK, I am hosted on Haisoft's US servers, which are fine, and easy to use.

Webmasters: I use them and recommend them for my web design clients. They are affordable with 750 mb of space and really great support.

My recommendation is www.lunarpages.com

[kpratte]

www.powweb.com

$7.77 a month for 1000MB and tons more.

If you sign up, use "kpratte" as your referral.

is there any site that preloads it or cpg-nuke  6.5?

is there any site that preloads it or cpg-nuke  6.5?

Not to my knowledge, but the install is pretty darn simple.   Upload the package/unzip the package/read the docs/run the install script from a browser/.

Maybe someone should look into the feasibility of getting coppermine to work with fantastico and other cpanel like integrations?  Any volunteers?

The following hosts offer CPG pre-installed:

what did you look up to find that I have been looking for one that had it pre loaded thanx so much

[Nightshade]

Not sure if you are still looking or not but there is a free promotion going on for one company till the 21st

http://www.1and1.com  is offering 500 megs free for 3 years.  To every appearance I can find this appears legit.

Also if you are looking for a large host http://hostdime.com offers 3 gig reseller accounts for 30$ a month US which also includes a 3 gig account for the host doing the reselling  (6 gigs with 35 gig bandwidth for 30$ a month is a good deal IMHO)

I have personally used CPG for some time now and decided that I would offer it to my customers as part of a package along with forums and blogging software.

Our HomeUserPlus Package is priced at £6 per month and includes :

CPG, phpBB and Pivot. Each item may or may not be used, that is of course up to the client.

CGP forum members will receive 12 months for the price of 10. All you have to do is place an order for the HomeUserPlus Package and when you get the confirmation email, simply reply to it and mention this post. You will then only be invoiced for the price of 10 months.

Please note that this account however needs to be paid annually. If you have any questions feel free to PM me and I will reply to you as soon as I can.

if you're looking for webhosting and you're from Germany I strongly recommend to take a look at http://webhostlist.de/
They run a large database with comparisons of webhosts - helps you in the jungle that webhosting hs become in the past 2 years. They have user reviews, feature comparison, budget lists any many more options. The site is in German and only covers German webhosts.

I want to announce that the latest Fantastico has added Coppermine to the list of auto-installed scripts.

Casper, thanks for the tip.
I'm Uploading my Entire site (keeping exactly the same structure), but it might take a while, well, i got 900 Pictures... i'll let you know if things went all right.

About the host.
It's: http://www.surpasshosting.com

It has a good plan (Standard) with:
- 2 GIG's of space.
- 3 GIG's of bandwidth.
- Cpanel (newest).
- Unlimited E-mails/Subdomains
- ImageMagik, GD.
- An Online community board from the users, wich helps a lot with "feedback" "tips" "programing" exchange... it's very usefull, maybe more than the Help Desk,

This plan costs U$48.00 (Yearly Payment).
Or U$4.98 (Monthly Payment).
And Yes, they do accept PayPal, 2CheckOut.
And you got a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee.
Well, it woth trying.

They got a cheaper plan, the LITE plan.
Just check it out.

And by the way, it has a great review from users at:
http://findmyhosting.com (here you can find lot's of "cheap" hostings also).

That's it.

Hi oZ,

slit you post and merged it with the topic on hosts for cpg, so others looking for that can benefit.  Thanks.

[Steve.H]

http://www.surpasshosting.com

Just correcting the information...
It's 30GIGAS of Bandwidth. (check the site).

By the way, if you gonna sign up for one package, and you don't mind in use my person as a referral... please, use "STEVEHU" as a Referral

I'm not part of SurpassHosting staff or getting paid to adverteise it in here...
I just think, besides "http://findmyhosting.com" reviews it's the best plan your "money" can pay. U$4.98 per month for 2GIGAS Space, 30GIGAS Bandwidth... it's amazing.

Cheers.

Please excuse me if my questions seem really stupid. I'm new to this and I've been reading through this board all day :?

Once I find a host with PHP and MySQL, where do I get GD or ImageMagick? Does my host need this or do I install it on my comp?

Can someone who is just learning how to design webpages use Coppermine or would recommend something else? I really want to use coppermine, it's the best photo album I've seen.
