Hello there.

I don't have any image hosting site but creating such site requires advance scripting and large internet disk space.

Will this be your first website?

If yes, then think first if you are capable of handling/creating such site.

^_^


OFCOURSE. You can earn money from image hosting sites by offering special/premium services/accounts for your customers if ever they want to upgrade from a simple FREE account to a premium one (for example they have to pay $ /upgrade)

eboundhost gives Unlimited space and transfer. I use script just like piceye because that is free script and it doing without MySQL.

Can I earn from googleads and this site?

Yes, but it really depends since Google adsense are pay/click ads, you're earnings will depend on how much traffic you are getting per day and how many % of your customers click your advertisements.

Im afraid there is a problem with this, there is no such thing as unlimited.

Let me explain, when a website says they offer unlimited of anything they always have the rules in there terms of service. For example HostGator say they offer 'unlimited' space/ transfer but in there terms of service they explain the catch. You cannot use more than 25% of the server or you risk getting banned. They also have a rule of no more than 250,000 inodes (1 inode = 1 file). It's impossible to get away with anything over 5GB with a site offering unlimited (varies from host to host)

Quote:
There may come a time when we need to delete a file or two from your account. Lets say you have 500 backup files and you keep insisting on eating up all the space on your server, or an errant process writes a humongous log file. We can't allow one client to deprive all their server'mates from having service so will have to remove at least some of your files to make room. Generally it's a "you should have known better" situation and it almost never ever ever ever happens.
That's what I found in their terms, I certainly wouldn't want anyone to delete any files from my server.

Im afraid the whole 'unlimited' thing is a sales gimmick although it doesn't always mean they are bad companies. Although nothing is unlimited some of these hosts still offer allot of space.

Because you are looking at a image hosting site you will need allot of space once it gets going. Some hosts will not allow this type of site on shared hosting to start with.

EDIT: Yes you would be able to display Google ads as long as they accept you to the program.

Some things to look for and think about if your doing image hosting..

Understand each image counts as one file and your hosting company will only let you hold X amount of files usually 50,000 after that you'll need to switch to dedicated servers which can cost several hundreds a month.

The question to ask yourself is will I be able to outsource my site to gain enough revenue in order to profit from it? Because if you switch to dedicated servers and are not gaining any revenue you have a problem?

Good ways to earn money...

Offer a premium service for a monthly fee
Advertising (Google Ads' or your own service)
And so on...

Just something to let you think about
