Interserver provides

shared, vps and dedicated hosting powered by Coppermine

Coppermine is a photo gallery program that allows you to add a photo gallery to your website. You can either make the photos the main focus of your site, or use it as a separate feature to draw in more users. The program has been around for over a decade now, and continues to get regular updates including new features and maintenance updates. Looking at the team of developers who have worked on this platform you will see that there are contributors from around the world, which makes this a very interesting project.

The system is completely free and open source, and they are committed to keeping it this way long into the future. Their website has a very outdated look and feel to it, which is a little disappointing for a photo gallery service, which you would think would have a very modern appearance. Despite that, however, the program itself is easy to use and makes creating a photo gallery on your website fast, easy, and attractive.

Coppermine Pros

  • Cost
    This is a free platform and always will be.
  • Efficient
    They have done a good job coding this system so that it doesn’t require a high end hosting server just to run a photo gallery.
  • Easy To Use
    The entire platform is easy to use. Whether for the administrator or the viewers, Coppermine is quite simple.

Coppermine Cons

  • Website
    Their website looks really outdated and it is somewhat difficult to find the information you need on the page.
  • Support
    They really don’t offer too much support other than through their online forums.

Coppermine Review

  • Initial Setup
    Getting Coppermine installed on your web hosting server is extremely simple. If you have a hosting package with InterServer, you simply use the one-click installation script. Once it is installed most people will want to take some time to add any plugins they want, and install the proper themes. While not strictly necessary, it will help to launch the gallery in a way that the owner wants. Of course, you’ll need to add images (unless you are relying on users to submit pictures). While none of this is especially difficult, it will take some time to get going.
  • Plugins
    The plugin system is quite easy to use, and the developers of the platform have also released a number of nice plugins to work with. These plugins include things like the option to upload tons of pictures at once, analytics tools, and much more. They have a library of different plugins to read through and choose which ones will help your site. Since this is an open source platform, you could also have your own plugins developed and used on this system.
  • Themes
    This system doesn’t have themes exactly, but they do have a lot of different options for changing the way the site looks, which essentially function like themes. You can use ‘visual enhancement’ plugins, for example, to change the way things look. On the back end of the platform you can also change things like backgrounds, logos, colors, fonts, and more. While these aren’t really true themes, you won’t have any trouble getting your photo gallery to look and feel just how you want it.
  • Customization
    You can customize your site quite extensively, which is very important with a photo gallery. They have lots of back end options that you can use in addition to the plugins to really change the way your site functions so that it is all your own. Whether you’re making a site that is focused only on photos, or you just want to have a photo gallery to compliment the rest of your site, this platform can handle it all.
  • SEO Friendly
    The images are certainly the ‘star’ of this platform, but you can add in descriptions, keywords, and other content to help the search engines rank your site well. In addition, this platform will help your site to rank well in the image search of Google or Bing just due to the nature of what the platform is.
  • Cost of Running
    Coppermine is completely free to use. As an open source system you can download it, install it, and even change it without it costing a dime. You will need to have a hosting platform to put this one, but unless you plan on having TONS of users on your site at any given time, you shouldn’t have any trouble running Coppermine on a shared hosting server. InterServer has quite a few options that will work very well for a Coppermine based website.
  • Other Programs Like it

    If you are looking for a photo gallery system, and Coppermine doesn’t seem like the right one for you, don’t worry. There are plenty of other photo gallery options to choose from, including the following that can be installed with just a click when you have an InterServer hosting package:

  • Demo of the Coppermine System

    The best way to see how this system works is to check out their demo sites. They have a nice option that will let you play around with the system and see if it has the right features for you. The Coppermine demo page can be found HERE.

  • Final Thoughts
    There is no shortage of photo gallery options to choose from today. Coppermine, however, has been around for a very long time, and continues to be well supported. In addition to the fact that it offers a wide range of very nice features, and is easy to use, makes this a great option for just about anyone who wants a photo gallery on their website. Install it and give it a try to see if it meets your specific needs.
