Website Host

[acutshall]

I am currently unhappy with the company hosting my website, can anyone offer input as to whom they have used(preferably photography oriented) and if they are happy or not with them(average pricing would be helpful too). Also I have seen some amazing flash sites, can also suggest web designers.
Thanks

Cheap and excellent service from both.

smugmug.com professional site. About $150 per year with easy uploads and gallery creation and a built-in shopping cart feature that allows you to set individual print prices.

Im in the UK but use an american site

Very cheep the functions are fantastic the stats show you what galleries have been looked at what pictures have been viewed and what pictures have been viewed for purchase.
You can do this for any day, week of the year. The uploading is very fast and its unlimited as to how large your uploads are.
It also has a built in shopping cart that you set to your own needs.

I build my gallery through cpanel only take me 30second through fantastico gallery : www.vietdetroit.com they are free .

1 thing a forgot to said that bluehost does not support any nude photo . Hostgator is support nude photo ....so if you had any thing about nude ...do not sign up with bluehost .

hostgator

Me too - www.hostgator.com - best service i've ever had from a web host, and great prices too. It costs me about $10/month and I get about 2 million hits per month on my various websites.

I personally use www.godaddy.com and www.hostmonster.com for a couple of my projects..they have both been decent and very cheap.
I do know people rave about www.bluehost.com and www.lunarpages.com

Thanks all for your suggestions :D ; I am curious though how do you set up where people have to use a password to access their gallery?
Thanks

Also ...before you buy any host ...check this site and find out about the new host you want to sign up :

Go to your host Cpanel ...there is a Password protect directory ...and use the link for who you want to set and create a password to that link .

I'm using Bluehost until next March, and then I'm switching to Big Folio.
