Web Hosting for Coppermine photo Album?

[intensityblue]

I am running coppermine from a windows based server. They have php 5.03 installed which although not the latest is more than suitable, and although I had to access my domain with there server first to set the access rights before uploading any photos, I have subsequently had no trouble whatsoever.

Anyone who says php can not be run on a windows server is talking out of there proverbial butt. Permissions are a little more tricky to set, but once done leaves a system that will work just a stably as a linux based server. Looking back I kind of wish the guy who arranged this server had chosen linux hosting, I would have had access to Perl which could be useful, and there are other options my host provides which would have been very useful as well.

Linux is not the only option.

Check out http://www.mydomain.com

I recomment them thoroughly for there live support and consistent help.

Split above posting from the thread that deals with free webhosting and merged it with the thread that deals with paid webhosting instead.

@gaugau,...
thnink u don't understand my post !!!

The service is completly free with an yourname.gimyhost.de subdomain,...

Only when u want to have a real domain u have to pay the 6€ a year.

a real good webhoster for the gallery is www.hostloco.com.
It starts with 0,89 Euro per month. the support is perfect and you can use your account max. 20 minutes after registration.
I'm glad to be there instead of strato.de were i've been before. strato really sucks..

Foing just launched a new hosting service.  With their FoingFolio or FoingPro plans, Coppermine comes as an auto-installed feature, so you don't need to mess with installation, it's all done for you.  Nice

Sorry but using autoinstalled sciprts to install CPG is not recommanded at all

Guys , There are lots of Hosts offering Coppermine Photo Album . You can verify those Web Hosts at http://www.hostingcomments.com and http://www.hostingcomments.com/web-hosting-directory/Image_Hosting.php

I've been using Servage now for a few years and any problems I've had have been my own fault.

You can host any content with them as long as it is legal.

The specs were what interested me as they are huge for the price.

At the time of writing you get..

• 250GB of webspace (yes, that's GB)
• 2100GB of monthly data transfer
• Unlimited email accounts
• FREE domain name, this also includes .com, .eu, co.uk, org etc
• Free, almost instant setup - I've had sites live within 30 mins
• 24/7 Support - They are amazing at support, sometimes answering tickets with 2 or 3 minutes
• 1000 mysql databases - like you are going to use that many!
• You can also pay by PayPal and lots of other methods

There are too many features to list.

The current cost of this host per month is £4.50 a month (approx €6.80), and you get extra months free for signing up for 12 months.

As a customer I obviously get a referral bonus, but the new customer does too, so everybody wins.
If you sign up using My Referral Code then you get an extra 25GB (25000MB) of space free, so you'll have a monster 275GB website with a free .com for £4.50 a month (approx €6.80).

Enjoy.

Hi all,
I am using ixwebhostin located in KY. I like it a lot.  It is cheap and so far no problems.

ixwebhosting has "Web Shell 3" If you would like to find a good provider and you are a relative newbie look for this feature with your prospective host, I find "Web Shell" to be really helpful.

Web Shell displays your domain/directories. You can open individual folders and files, view the contents, rearrange the folders, and best of all edit the code right there. It also uploads/downloads. And lots of other things which I have yet to explore or have a need for.

I dont know if you have a mac or pc, but if this is of any relevance, many of these web hosts, particularly bluehost, do not care about Macs. If you have a Mac you cannot use many of their preinstalls incl coppermine and wordpress. You should ask the host specifically if this pertains to you. The point being - just because a host "has" something you want doesn't mean you will not run into problems with it.  Neither will they offer suport for what they provide "free" except possibly to check to see if your directory is properly structured or that server is working. A quick browse thru the boards here will assure anyone that my words are true 

Hope this is of some help,
klewless

Did you read the sticky thread "sub-board rules, read first!" on the sub-board "Looking for Freelancers / Paid help"? Obviously not - you're not allowed to post ads here for webhosting - let me quote the corresponding section of the sub-board rules to you:

No advertizing for webhosting allowed
Please do not post new threads on this board to advertise for webhosting that comes bundled with coppermine installs or free support - in fact, don't start advert threads at all on this board. There are two threads on the "General discussion" board that already deals with webhosting: Web Hosting for Coppermine photo Album and Free web host supporting the Copermine requirements.

Failing to respect board rules won't make your webhosting offer more attractive to potential customers.

Merging your thread that you posted on the wrong board with the thread mentioned in the sticky thread that I refered to above.

Yea.......... I didn't read it..  however I do not agree with you on the more attractive part to potential customers that sounds like a idiot rule.. something like hey work for me and you get nice shinny penny. I'm not hating you.. its just how it sounds.
