Dear Cloud!
If you want to start you own directory then what you basically need is the most important 2 things only:
1. A web hosting.
2. A Free PHP directory script.
There are many free PHP web directory scripts but the best that I love is "PHPLINKDIRECTORY". PHPLINKDIRECTORY needs a Linux web hosting that you can get from any trusted hosting service provider may be any I will suggest
www.b4uhosting.com as its my own hosting service
No way mean we are not going to market our services... You decide it that which hosting solution is best for you.
When you have a Linux hosting account go to
http://www.phplinkdirectory.com/ its the homepage of PHPLINKDIRECTORY. I think for the newest version you have to pay and all old versions are free for use. We are using PHPLD version2 which can be caught at
http://www.phplinkdirectory.com/dmdocuments/phpLD2.zip
You don’t go for any other tension just upload the files on to your web hosting account and go trough 5 min. job of setup of directory script via read me documentation that is included within the zip file of directory script I think.
Feel free to ask us for any support no problem, as we are working here to share our experience only
Thanks!
