I just read the sticky about hosting here. But I am still looking for something different. I apologize in advance if there was another thread related directly to this.

I am begining to sell photos of racing event to the drivers of their cars themselves. I don't beleiev that there is any legal ramifications but read that thread and it looks like I am all set.

I am currently using Dot Photo. It lets me use their default website templates for show and sell. The amount of space I get is still a question. I uploaded almost 500meg of photos at 100% yesterday. I do have an issue with the sizes of the photos. When a buyer wants to purchase the photo it asks them to crop to photo to make them into standard sizes. If they don't will they get the photo scaled down(perhaps a question for dotphoto, maybe someone here has used them). They leave the photos in an Album for a few months after that they will be removed. This is all on the free plan. YOu can buy more storage if you like.

Does anyone know of a better site with the same pricing and ability to sell prints with your own custom pricing?

This is my first portfolio
