Any recommendations for a hosting site and photo album software?

I'm looking for a hosting site that doesn't cost too much. All I want is the ability for someone to upload images (perhaps sometimes large) to a site that I can download and edit, then re-upload. I'm looking at an open source software called Gallery. The hosting sites are totally baffling to me., however. Thanks.

Mac Mini, Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Is this what you're looking for? Can't help you on a hosting site.

No. Just wondering if that was what you were referring to. It seem like software you run on your own server. There are a number of sites out there that you can upload your photos to and share with others, no special software needed. http://www.flickr.com/ is one of them. Just do a Google search and you should find a bunch of possible candidates. I use iDisk for my photo sharing.

You can use Photobucket.com

It's very easy to use and it's free.

Lori posted this link in another thread today. It's a database of most all online photo sharing sites and their features. I'm sure you can find one that might suit your needs.

I've been trying to fiddle with Gallery which requires PHP, MySQL and Apache. Got everything running except MySQL. Still looking for a plug and play solution as I am not a programmer. Thanks for the help.
