    Not much to learn, theres some free scripts out there on the internet just google "php image hosting script". However, be aware if you're planning to profit from this the niche is highly saturated with many popular image hosting facilities that have been around since the early 2000's (PhotoBucket, ImageShack and so forth).

    Think carefully before starting.You need a good hosting and domain first.Also you won't get that much as you expected too.

    I completely agree with Hearthrobz, the only reason I have one is for my forum. You HAVE to keep in mind your space and bandwith before doing it.

    yeah and remember that most users just use the image url so your site wont appear anywhere.

    first thing I'd do is use your own script by coding it in php...it really isnt that hard for an image service, but you have A LOT of competition now days specially from big sites with lots of options so why not offer something scarce...like adult image hosting?
