About ZenphotoCMS

ZenphotoCMS is an open-source content management system built around galleries. Photographs and videos are the primary content rather than an attachment to it, and ordinary pages and news articles sit alongside them in the same install.

Version we install
1.6.8

A database is created for it automatically.

ZenphotoCMS documentation

Why people choose ZenphotoCMS

It suits illustrators, photographers, film-makers and musicians who need a site rather than only a gallery — work in albums, a few pages about it, and somewhere to post news, all in one place and all on hosting you own, with no subscription and no gallery service deciding how your work is shown.

What our hosting does for ZenphotoCMS

  • You choose the PHP version and can change its settings, which is what uploading full-resolution work and generating its sizes needs.
  • Hotlink protection is included, so your images cannot be served from your hosting by somebody else's site.
  • Content delivery caching and image optimisation sit in front of the site, so a gallery loads quickly for a visitor on the other side of the world.

Questions people ask before they buy

How do I install ZenphotoCMS?

From the applications section of your dashboard. Choose ZenphotoCMS, pick the domain, and the install runs — including the database, if it needs one.

Which version do you install?

The current release from the platform's application catalogue. You can update it yourself afterwards like any other install.

Can I run other applications alongside it?

Yes. There is no cap on websites or databases on our Linux plan, so you can run ZenphotoCMS beside anything else on this list.

Do I get SSH and database access?

Yes — SSH, SFTP, phpMyAdmin and remote MySQL are all included, so you are never locked out of your own install.

Where will it be hosted?

London, Dallas or Singapore — your choice, all live today.

Can you migrate an existing ZenphotoCMS site?

Yes. Send us the details of your current host and our team runs the migration for you.
