Good luck!
If you want to be the biggest you would probably write a custom script that does the job better than everyone else.
I dont know making script.
Is there any good readymade script?
Probably not. If you don't know how to code, then you have almost no hope of keeping a site like that online. Image hosts are very very bandwidth intensive, and are thus rather expensive to run. You need a script that is as streamlined as possible, and custom is the way to go! Smile
I'd check out YetiShare.com - It's a cool script, would need some of the plugins though to achieve what you want.

It is fully open source so you can do what you want with it (subject to the license) but overall its a cool system Wink.

Now reality: You probably won't get to be the biggest image hosting site in the world and this can be a very expensive venture Smile.

^ This. My image hosting service http://someimage.com/ averages 10-15TB per month.
What about imgur2.com? Smile Smile Smile

No, now seriosly. Try new .tld domains something as img.club
Consider using XImageSharing script (http://sibsoft.net/ximagesharing.html). Many famous image hosting sites using it.
The best domain name for a site related to image hosting should be no more than 26 character the less character, the better for SEO
