Gallery Cloud Hosting

Quick, Simple, and Scalable Gallery Cloud Hosting

What is Gallery Cloud Hosting?

The Gallery Cloud hosting service offered by Steadfast Networks allows users to integrate digital photos and other media into their website design, then publish and manage them. As an open source program, Gallery has a robust set of features that only keep growing as other users add functionality.

Some of the key features that make organizations love using Gallery include:

Unlimited, dynamic albums – Gallery lets you organize pictures and movies into albums that are both customizable and flexible. You can create as many of these albums as you need, even adding individual photos to multiple albums depending on your needs. Album organization can be hierarchical, managed collaboratively, or kept private. Thumbnails in these albums are configurable and include such features as watermarking, editing, and polling.
Access and management – Want other people to be able to manage and edit your albums? Or just a few specific albums? The Gallery administrator can help you. With it, you can add administrators and other users and grant then whatever level of access you desire, from full management of everything you have in Gallery to just specific albums.
Photo flexibility – With Gallery, you can use ZIP files or forms to save time and easily upload your materials. Gallery even lets you put in the URL for any webpage and automatically retrieve any of the images on that page. It’s also possible to edit images in Gallery using features like flipping, rotating, image resizing, ordering, captioning, and automatic thumbnail creation.
Mirror creation – This one is especially appreciated by users whose bandwidth is limited. Rather than having your server crash by the number of visits, Gallery allows you to mirror your high-resolution server images and albums on an unlimited number of remote servers.
Sharing and collaborating – When you’re ready to share your photos with individuals or organizations, Gallery utilizes commenting, email notification, and RSS. Even better, once someone has subscribed or been put on your list, they’ll be notified every time there’s an update. Gallery Remote takes this collaboration even further, letting your users drag and drop their own photos to your Gallery.
Flexible design – Cascading style sheets let you customize Gallery by creating a design of your own utilizing one of Gallery’s numerous available themes to set one up quickly.
EXIF – Want to know just how a certain image was created? All jpegs have information embedded in their EXIF headers such as camera make and model, camera settings, and date and time. With Gallery, you’ll have the ability to read and log this information.
Engage your audience – Visitors to your site can comments on your pictures, and Gallery lets you add polls to each image, if you want, so that your visitors are able to vote on their favorites.
