I've been using Exposure Manager for almost two years but have had it with their balky uploader issues.
I'm looking for a site that offers: unlimited storage, unlimited bandwidth, reasonable percentage of after-cost sales, AND the option to edit and correct images BEFORE printing and shipping.
If anyone out there has recommendations (or wants to steer me away from problem sites) your help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks!!!;)

Why not host it yourself ? I have a cheap laptop running a simple webserver and an external harddrive for the files. I have connected it directly to the internet have never powered it off for the past 7 years :) Sometimes it is a bit slow but since it not a revenue model I guess it is ok ? And all this required no programming knowledge or expertise.

DreamHost will give you unlimited both! Great service as well.

But of course, you'll have to build it yourself... if you'd rather not do that, SmugMug is good too.

x2. Just started using them. Love! It's absolutely brainless and you don't have to deal with printing, shipping, collecting $$, etc.

Be sure to use the word "flickr" or "yahoo" on the checkout to save 50% for your first year. By the time it's time to renew, the service should be paying for itself.
