Yes you can run an agency although its not tailored for that specific use, there are no limits on traffic or anything else beyond image storage.
The system only has one user - the owner, but it would be very easy to extend this to accommodate other authors with an upload facility and even automate the monthly payments to your authors.
If there is enough interest in having this kind of system im sure we can accommodate.
Thank you for your interest!

I see potential with this as an option - being able to truly "white label" it would be a differentiator, and perhaps would be a motivator to let you introduce a slightly higher pricing tier. I think Photoshelter's version of this concept is $250/month, which puts it out of most ranges. But for boutique agency, etc, more like $50/monthly is easier to swing (vs. hosting yourself).
I would say you need SOME bandwidth limit, just because (as I've found out), there's always a limit. "Unlimited" means "until you crash our servers and we kick you off" ;)

This is a very interesting option, i have been discussing it with my business partner today - i will let you know when there is more development on this front :)
There is no strict bandwidth limit, it is in our interest that you sell more images - it will promote us as well as keep you a very happy customer.
We have set up our system to accommodate for this, so you dont have to worry :)

Hello again,
We have been hard at work polishing and adding features to this system, i thought i would post it here as the discussion from this forum is great.
You now have a choice of plans starting from $15/month (please see website for prices).
Choice of hosting region: US, Asia, Europe - so your customres get the fastest possible load times.
And most importantly you can try it out FREE for 7 days and if you are not happy, just cancel it before the trial runs out - you wont spend any money.
Check http://www.avidimages.net/ for more details,
If you have any questions I would be more than happy to answer.

Its not a stock library like iStock, you get your own store, you set the prices and you get paid 100% of the sales. You pay us for storage, bandwidth, processing power and maintaining the software. Sign up for a day, have a play around, see how you like it and then cancel it - there is nothing to lose.
