I use "The Next Generation" TNG for my website. It was written by Darrin Lythgoes. It requires MySQL & PHP on your web host provider. All you do once it is set up and configured, upload your photos & create a gedcom and upload that. Once that is uploaded, you click on the import under the administration menu.
The total process to set up the website in the first place took about 1 hour to get the options I wanted. With my Legacy database, my gedcom is about 11.5 MB. It takes a few minutes to upload this file and it takes a few minutes for the import process to run. Once it is done, you have a dynamic database. I now do a weekly upload of my genealogy by producing a gedcom, upload it, and import it. I also upload any new photos when I have them. If you would like to see a demo of this, please visit: http://lythgoes.net/genealogy/software.php The cost is 27.00. Very well worth it. If you are using PostNuke, there is a module for this as well.
