Well I have two domain names with unlimited sub-domain names. But don't have anything on them right now because i can't figure out how to write the script for the sites I have in mind.

I have several good site ideas. Just not smart enough to script them :(

One site is going to be set up like "billboards TOP 100" instead its going to be Photo's Weekly Top 100. It's a site that will allow members to upload three photographs a week. Voters do not have to be members of the site but they can pick 12 photographs out of all photographs that are their favorites. Member photographs will be ranked by how many favorite picks they receive. Each voter will be logged by their IP address and allowed only 12 picks a week.

As in music there are different genre so will this site (landscape, seascape, portraiture, candid, etc.). It will show the following
This weeks rank
Last weeks rank
Thumbnail of picture
Title of picture
Artist
Artist website (if one)
Purchase print option (to whatever print site the artist uses)
Highest rank
Weeks on chart

I still have a few more details to workout but I think it will be a great way for photographers to get their photos seen by the general public and let the general public pick their favorites. Then have the option to purchase a print from the ranking line.

What do you think about a site like that?

Doable, but Ip address based voting restrictions? Not very reliable but better then nothing 50-80% effective?

Sounds like a good idea. try looking at This. The gallery is already there with commenting, then you'd just have to code the voting and ranking. Least its cutting down on time. Could even talk to them about your ideas since its open source.

yeah same here :) dreamhost huh? Most others I know use fantastico, so have ALOT more scripts with a one-click, but they're all easy to install even if you have to do it yourself.

Its easier to write the whole thing from scratch then to integrate your own code into another system. It requires you to be able to understand the structure of the existing system rather then already knowing exactly hopw it does what it does and why.

well considering you can integrate gallery with phpbb and there's already mods for voting and ranking for phpbb, it'd just be a matter of putting them together and then just tweaking the features. Minimal coding :)

Yea, dreamhost. It's been great so far but I have not used a fraction of my bandwidth, storage, or anything.

RainMotorsports I believe you are correct. I have a 21 hour video tutorial on php,mySQL,apache, and phpmyadmin. But I has been hard to learn. I guess the older I get the less concentration I have. :P

It might be easier to learn by dismantling existing code.

I don't thinks its possible to use up all your bandwidth or storage. Especially when mine goes up by 2gigs a week, and 32gb of bandwidth a week. The panel is alot different than most hosts, but the support is great and they notify me of downtime before I ever notice it.

For example start with a basic Php upload script, then tie that to a user in the database.

Then add file size limitations.
Then dismantle a script to learn how to create a thumbnail upon uploading using the GD library.

I'm not even listening blah blah blah lol. I do very little coding, my specialty is more webgraphics,html and some css. I have people I go to when I need something coded. Gave up on programming in highschool, and never looked back.

More realistically if .5% of the united states population view one each of 100, 100mb videos on my site i just ate that bandwidth.

See where im going lol.

Your right I currently have 2416 GB of bandwith a month and it increases 16 GB a/week.

06/28/2007 12:19:06 AM · #20

I did the math on 250KB images if you had 1,000 images it would take 12 million views on each to exceeed 3 TB.

However I only have 300GB of hard drive space, thats easy to fill lol.

at 250KB images not including the site and all the thumbnails, thats only 1.25 million images. NOT BAD AT ALL... if thats all your hosting!

Oh, i know its possible. My clients don't use anywhere near that amount, and they don't use big files otherwise i'd charge em more.

Here's a few off my list:

Golf course, with online booking that generates between 30-50k a year in tee times revenue, has used 3gig this month. The booking database isn't hosted on my domains though, so i don't have to worry about that.

Union election site, used about quarter of a gig. Election is just starting to ramp up.

Guild website for WOW that I host for some friends, about half a gig of bandwidth.

There's a few more, but same statistics basically. Not alot of bandwidth being used, especially since email never counts under the monthly bandwidth usage.

I'm at 4448 GB of bandwidth and 432gb of diskspace and by the time I reach 1000 images uploaded i'll probably be double my amount now.

06/28/2007 12:24:49 AM · #23

My old host uploading through the ftp server didnt count against my bandwidth but it does on myne.

BUT for 14.99 a month

5 Free domains (the rest 5.99... okay i guess?)
600 Subdomains (why not unlimited?)
300GB of HDD space
3 TeraBytes of Transer per month

4,000 2GB email accounts (POP3/IMAP/Webmail)

and all the shit that comes packed on every linux based server, php, perl, mysql one click software yada yada yada.

I like the service, The new AMD building (i had me moved lol) Has 5 16 cylinder Diesel Backup generators, double redundant power rooms, fire supression yada yada.

what are you guys paying?

A friend of mine has been working on his website for almost a year. He is hoping to have it done by the fall of this year. It's a political website that allows people to enter their information such as sex, age, race, location (county, state) but not there name. Then they fill out a survey and instead of presenting it like a normal poll it is a map poll. The people that participants information and survey responses are stored in a database and it creates a visual map (colors ranging from red to blue based on %. So you can look up poll data and it is presented in a map.
He said the reason he wanted to create a site like that was because of the upcoming election and he was tired of letting the media tell us what people were thinking. He wanted to get the information from the people and generate a mapped poll for others to view. No bias. I don't know how he is doing it but what I have seen looks good.
