What I want to do is set up an image host.
Im sick of all the free guys going under and making promises they cant keep.
Im a user of the net and find that image hosting always comes with a catch!
They either only allow so much linking per day or bandwidth amount.And most the time dont last because they didnt THINK of the traffic they would get offering the free service.
I want to fix this.
I want to offer those that need images for msgboards such as sig's as well the now/currently playing sig's.
I will put a limit on the image size,but will also keep in mind that some images will be bigger than others.
I will also keep very close eye on where they are being linked at and who abuses.
Some may ask that this wont last and how do I get payed.
Simple answer is that Im sick of all the hosts making promises and offers and then dont live up to them and or shut down.
As I said before,I am a user of the net and find myself going from freebie host to freebie host and Im now sick of it.
I get nothing in return from this other than giving people what they want and that is a no BS image host.
I am still working out things such as scripts and what not and will fill in the details later.
What I need now is suggestios for hosts that will allow the heavy traffic of hotlinking.
I would like to get as much as possible for the cheapest along with a domain name in the cost.Might as well kill 2 birds with 1 stone there.
Things I will need are:
-PHP 4.1.0 or later
-GD library
-A reasonably recent version of MySQL
-Massive bandwidth Im sure due to the hotlinking
All other goodies will be used Im sure but for the most part,I just want to have a place to allow people the use of linking thier images.
Again,you may say it wont last or why would I pay for something others use for free.
Lets just say once up and running,the only way the service will be down is due to the host I pay for.Other than that it will be up for good.
If anyone would like to help and give me pointers,and not negative ones say how do you expect this and that,please reply and or email me here
Never_Pay
I want to get the cheapest I can but just give me options and I'll look at them all.
Thank you!
