Title: Do I need a website to host pictures on here?
Post by: housefan42 on January 11, 2007, 10:26:51 am
I'm sorry if this is the worst newbie question ever, but I was visiting a site with a gallery which looked awesome and I wanted to host my pictures like that. So I went to the link and got to here. It keeps saying that I can use Coppermine to make galleries for my webiste, but what if I don't have a website and just want a place to host my pictures. I tried PhotoBucket and Flickr but they didn't have the format I wanted. But the website I went to was perfect. So, sorry for the long rambling question, do I need to create a website to host my pictures on Coppermine? Because a) I don't know how to create an easy website that has all the things I need and b) I don't have the money to do it.

P.S. I don't want to give out the website without permission from the site's creator, which is why i don't link to it.

Coppermine is not a hosting service, it is software to allow you to organise and display your photos on your own website. You need to already have a webhost to use Coppermine.

That's exactly what I thought. I just wanted to make sure in case there was anything else. And I wanted to make sure I didn't download a thousand things on my computer and still not what I wanted. I just want you to know that this program is great, if only I was more computer smart so I could use it. Anyways, thanks.
