Welcome!
EZ Album is a simple-to-manage website that lets you easily upload photos, embed videos from YouTube (a popular video-sharing website), write weblogs, and chat with your visitors. The administration of the website is simple to use and it's easy to customize the colors and options for your site.

Hosting Requirements (not included with program)

• PHP with GD Support Enabled (To be sure, use a Linux webserver.)
• MySQL Database
• I recommend godaddy.com

Price

• The price for installation assistance, upgrades, and support for one year is $30.
• After one year from the date of purchase, if you would like further upgrades, the price is $15 per year.

The amount of images that you will be able to store is dependent on the disk space available to you through your hosting plan. One gigabyte (1GB) is about 5,200 pictures at the default settings. You are responsible for purchasing the web hosting plan before the setup can be completed.

Paid Hosting
You can purchase a domain name and hosting plan through a host (like godaddy.com) and contact me with the login information. I can set up everything for you from that point.
-or-
You can purchase the domain and hosting package, set up the database and ftp account, and I can transfer the scripts to you to install yourself. (This option means you'll also be responsible for running upgrade scripts as they are released.)

Free Hosting (Ad Supported)
Some webhosts will offer you free web hosting that will include banner advertisements or something similar. We can use the same steps as above for this type of site, but your storage space will be much smaller (thus affecting the number of pictures you can store).
An example of a free host is 100webspace.com

For both hosting methods, if you wish to transfer your site to a different host at a later date, I can help you transfer it for $10.

I tried to make this all official-looking, but really, I'm just one guy. If something happens in my life, you can keep the website but I can't be obligated to provide indefinite support for this product. That said, it should last you as long as your webhost does!


Other Notes:
If you know PHP, you can edit the scripts to function beyond their normal functionality, but modified scripts will not be upgraded as upgrades are released. Also, ownership of the source code is retained by the developer. That means you can't sell it, sorry.
