How Much Time And Budget Does It Require To Build Something Like Deviantart. I think its lot but still .. any ideas

In terms of bandwidth and disk space, you will need a dedicated server for something as large as Deviantart. It will probably cost you over 200 dollars a month.

 

But start with something smaller like good shared hosting. It will only cost around 10 dollars a month. Then upgrade as needed.

 

You will need a php script. If you can code one yourself, it may take a week or two and you will need to maintain it.

You can always hire someone to do so but make sure your contract with that person includes a clause for at least 2 months of support because bugs will show up.

Another choice for a script is to check for existing advanced photo gallery scripts.
