If you prefer to setup your own solution with your registrar or another company that sells Virtual Private Server storage the general process is as follows.
If you prefer to setup your own solution with your registrar or another company that sells Virtual Private Server storage the general process is as follows.
- Purchase a VPS solution from a provider you have chosen (i.e. Dreamhost VPS storage)
- Link this storage area to their domain via a cname like 'proofs.domain.com'. Each provider will have a specific way to do this with your registrar.
- Once setup, you can use an FTP client like FileZilla to access this storage area.
- If you want to link Adobe Lightroom and a public folder on this FTP storage area, you are able to from LR itself. This could be used to upload and share HTML web galleries
Note: the registrar can be different than the storage /ftp company and it can be different than the website hosting company. There are no technical issues with this. If you choose a provider that says otherwise this is due to their business policy, not the fact that it cannot be done.
