How to start my own image hosting service?

[mystaku]

Could anyone please advice me on how to start my own image hosting service?

Are there any free image hosting scripts available?

What type of server will I need - VPS or dedicated?

VPS in start for image hosting is ok
Mihalism Image hosting script or chevereto v1 are freely available

Hey thanks humour

I checked the demo of both the scripts and it seems neither of them don't has a image thumbnail generation option?

I used this one before and I thought it was pretty good.

Chevereto 1.x has thumbnails and you can enable / disable it by just commenting one line or so.

There are a ton of image hosting scripts that are open source & free. If you want to start a web hosting image site then you'll need a server either a powerful VPS or low end dedicated server. Install all software needed and then start advertising and worrying about DMCA notices depending on what kind of images your viewers and uploading.
