The OACYS personal photo galleries!

The OACYS personal photo galleries allow any OACYS customer to quickly create a slick, professional-looking photo gallery without the need for expensive or complicated aoftware.

Step 1: Upload your photos: To upload photos to your photo gallery, first use FTP to connect to the VIP server. Then, open the folder labeled "MyWebsite," this is your personal web site folder. To create your photo gallery, create a folder called "photos" (all lower-case) and upload your images to this folder. The OACYS personal photo gallery will do the rest!

Step 2: View your personal gallery: Your personal photo gallery can be viewed by visiting http://www.vip.ocsnet.net/~username/photos/, where username is replaced by the username that you chose when you created your personal web site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to create a web (HTML) page for my photo gallery!
No! Just upload your photos and our server will take care of generating the web page and thumbnail images for your photos.

I uploaded my photos, but now I can't find them. Where are they?
Make sure that you uploaded your photos to /MyWebsite/photos/. If your photos are not located in the right place our server won't be able to find them.

I can see the photos that I uploaded, but your server isn't creating a nice gallery for them. What's up?
Make sure that you used all lower-case letters when you created the "photos" folder.

How many photos can I upload
You can upload as many photos as you want, up to the space limit that you chose when creating your web site (usually 5MB). Five megabytes is enough for 5 photos at the highest common resolution (1024x768), or 36 photos at the lowest common resolution (640x480).

How can I increase the number of photos I can upload
You can increase your personal web space by calling our technical support desk at 559.781.4123. There is a $0.20 per Megabyte per month cost to increase your personal web space above the amount allowed by your Service Plan.

Can I change the look and feel of my photo gallery
Not at this time. The templates used by the photo gallery are common to everybody on the server.

IMPORTANT! OACYS does not maintain backups of your personal web site, the copy stored on your PC is your backup!
