Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / General Topics / June 2006How to start your own website?
If I get my a$$ in gear, I should have a enough scanned pics soon to load onto a website. Where do I go to get a website? What's a good price? Are there any where I can maintain the photos myself, rather than having them do it? Thanks for your help.

If you want your own private domain name, and not be tied in with other photographers, build your own. It is real easy to do, even without prior experience. First, get webhosting. Hardest part is finding a decent domain name that isn't already taken. Start with www.nameboy.com Someplace like godaddy.com is cheap and low-pain to set up hosting. A few dollars a month for a lot of space. If you're using a Mac, it's real, real easy. Rapidweaver is the best choice, but if you want dead simple, iWeb which is part of the iLife suite is even simpler. If you want to pay someone to maintain it for you, something like pbase might be a better option, unless you just have to have it on your own domain. I would expect to pay very much at all for a simple photo gallery site today. competition is fierce.

Quite basic and simple, with quite a few templetes you can use. I have two and they seem to work pretty good. The user name you choose is in the URL - http://yourchosenname.googlepages.com/. Can't beat the price! Search Google for "Google Pages", sign up for a Gmail e-mail address which will be your site's name.

Can't beat the price! And you can't tweak it and maintain it to suit yourself. As I said, there is a tradeoff between super easy to use and functionality. If $6 a month is too much, then perhaps the pictures aren't worth putting on the web in the first place. If you just want free photo space, flickr seems to do the job. Besides, the downside is with google pages is a biggie. From http://www.onedegree.ca/2006/02/23/big-problem-with-google-pages But you might want to think twice before you hit ³publish². See that last feature (simple memorable URLS) is also the greatest weakness of Google Pages and I think it is going to cause a huge headache for Gmail users. And a potential PR nightmare for Google. Why? When you hit publish your site goes live at username.googlepages.com. Nothing wrong with that. In fact it looks like a feature - if you can remember your Gmail address you can remember your ³Gpages² address. The problem is it is now trivial to reverse engineer your Gmail e-mail address. If you see a Google Pages site and want to e-mail the author - just replace googlepages.com with gmail.com. I was all set to tell my kids and my 85 year-old mother (all Gmail users) that they could now post a web page or two super easy, but I¹m not going to. I¹ve worked very hard to make sure they¹re their addresses are not easy to find online and with one click of the publish button Google will make their e-mail addresses available to every stalker, sexual predator, phisher, and spammer out there! I suggest you tell those non-technical users you know and care about that they should NOT use Gpages at this time. Right now I¹d have to say that Gpages users are just setting themselves up for a whole heap of spam if they decide to post a site. How long will it take spammers to get Gmail harvesters out in droves searching for URLs that can be converted into valid Gmail addresses?

If you just want >free photo space, flickr seems to do the job. Godaddy will give you 5BG (I think) of server space for about $4/month. Add $10/year for your own domain name and you're set. Look at all the free add-ons that come with that. I think there is a photoalbum package. That price also gives you php so if you want to fancy up your website, someday, you'll be set.

GMail accounts are free, so just get another one that you don't use for the title page name. Let the spam fly to this unused address.

Always read their terms and conditions especially if you think you're likely to have a lot of visitors. Some will suck money out of your credit card for extra bandwidth. >Dozens of options. If you want your own private domain name, >and not be tied in with other photographers, build your own. It >is real easy to do, even without prior experience. It's not compulsory to have your own domain name. You can build your own website without that but it's likely to have an address like www.hosting_firm.rhoward.com (substitute name of host) or something not very prestigious. >First, get webhosting. Hardest part is finding a decent domain >name that isn't already taken. Start with www.nameboy.com The magazines are full of ads for hosting companies. The tricky bit is choosing a good one. Streamlinenet are good for yours truly nowadays. I'm based in the UK, BTW. Although it's possible to build a website with Windows Notepad, I wouldn't recommend it. You pays yer money and makes yer choice as to software. Read the magazines and do some research. Dreamweaver is probably the best but not the cheapest. You can test your site on your own computer and upload it with an FTP program or FTP function built into some web-creation software. There will be host that build sites for you but this will cost. There's blog building sites for the really lazy uncreative types.

Don't worry about me - I had a week long flame war with UC a # of months ago - he must of saw my post and tasted blood - he's a troll. As for the religion thang, the one poster is right - why resort to that. The reason UC did is I think he's of the Islam faith - I do not that he hates Americans and that he was an angry voice when the danes posted that cartoon. He reminds me of WEREO in the music forums - an angry troll who claims to have been a big SO-&-SO in the past but now he knows better - seriously - UC used to be a pro shooter - and dropped it for some reason. WEREO says he promoted the best concert of all time - a concert I never heard of - both are delusional, angry trolls!

If you want your own domain, 'gallery' is a free php based program, it takes a bit of studying to set up properly but offers a similar functionality to pbase and is very expansible and customizeable. I wrote something similar myself though less sophisticated. Avoid static published type formats, you want something dynamic and php/mySQL based so that changes are easy. If you want to sell prints, I don't have good advice for shopping carts, there are serious security issues and that will cost money or include advertising which is annoying and unprofessional.

There are some fairly simple to use scripts that use PayPal IPN. The downside to it is that you can really only accept payment with PayPal.
