Website Tonight by godaddy.com

[sheckells27]

Looking to get a website for my photography. Has anyone ever used Website Tonight by Godaddy.com?

Im not very computer savvy when it comes to this kind of stuff. They have 3 different "plans" to choose from. Do any of them look appealing to you? They show disk space, bandwith, etc..what does all this mean? Im guessing it means how many photos it will hold etc?? Help :oops:

Sorry, i just wrote a long post and saw we aren't on similar things haha
I was thinking just a normal hosting package...
i have 12000 images on my site, and its 9 gigs of space

If you want just simply a portfolio site, sure, but if you plan to sell photos from here, i think the space maybe used up quickly.

Bandwhith, reset every month, myself with the 12000 shots on my site, i'm hardly using any bandwith, at peak times tho, i've hit up to 50gig i wanna say, but those are extreme times.
I'd say as long as you have over 50, you'd be more then fine... Even 25 you'd be fine...

Again it depends on what your wanting the site for, portfolio only, sure deluxe will do, if you want more, premium maybe the better choice

You'd be far better off using one of the services like SmugMug or Zenfolio. GoDaddy's sitebuilder sucks badly.

i agree... 12,000 photos is a lot of extra money to be paying to practically store them.

I use Godaddy and am happy...took a little bit of work and practice but am there now...great online tech support.

However I also have a smugmug account and I embed galleries from there into my Godaddy website...very easy to do...take a look at my website below and let me know what you think.

I use photocart. I find it much more powerful then smugmug...
Thus the reason why i use godaddy
