Recommendation on web hsoting site for pictures

I currently use Fototime (which I quite like) but find the storage size a little limiting

Can anyone recommend a good web hosting site. All I need is to be able to post my pictures probably generated through Photoshop or Breezebrowser.

I do use this mechanism to show my family (they in the UK, I'm in the US) large numbes of snapshots as well as smaller more edited groups - therefore need reasonably large storage capacity.

Low price would be good too !!

Any recommendations ?

I already use pbase as well. Its fine for what it does.

Am looking for recommendations on pure web hosting so that I can have more creative control of the look, feel and navigation. Also want to brush up my HTML skills... Bascially want to by capacity on a server somewhere and upload my html

You can get a nice package for $20/month.

Hmmm... You can do much better than that. I just signed up with ICDSoft and couldn't be happier. $5 a month for 333 MB space and 5 GB transfer.

I've been using RJS Networks (www.rjsnetworks.com), NT/Win2K shared hosting packages starting from $14.95 per month including unlimited data transfer, Access database support, ASP scripting & 100MB disk space.

SQL Server hosting from $44.95 per month too, pretty good value and they have always been reliable in terms of service & support (even though I am UK based!).

Hope this helps,
Caroline

Any other recommendations ???:

By the way. I want to run Pekka Saarinen's EE application. I sent him an email asking about the technical requirements and if he had a hosting service he recommends. He ended up doing a search on my behalf and recommended a service. The guy is amazing - how does he find the time !! Here is the email he sent me showing how helpful he was. Pekka is an amazing resource for this digital photography hobby of ours. I for one will be sending a 'donation' to him for his EE engine work - see it at

I am looking at signing up with a new web hosting service. i am no expert and therefore am not sure what is needed to support you Exhibition Engine. Could you take a few seconds to look at the link below and tell me if it will support the technical requirements of EE ?

I did a search in http://www.hostsearch.com and came up with quite good looking company:
http://www.hostrocket.com/products/shared.htm (14 day money-back guarantee)

I chatted with them and got this:

Melissa: Hi, how can I help you?
you: Hi, I'm searching a good host for my friend - a couple of questions:
you: what's the PHP version you use?
Melissa: we are using version 4.12
you: ok
you: is it apache module or CGI?
Melissa: apache module
you: good
you: can you set phpMyAdmin and manage MySQL yourself?
Melissa: yes
you: ok. Do you have any sites you can give as speed demo and traceroute test?

Melissa: well, I can really give you any of our clients sites but you can go to our forums: http://forums.hostrocket.com and you'll be able to find a lot of sites there
Melissa: sorry can't
you: ok, thanks a lot Melissa and take care. Bye!
Melissa: you're welcome...have a good day!

It's good they have forums, you can see obvious problems and ask questions from real users.

I love the look and feel of EE - I hope I can use it - if I am able a donation to the "Pekka fund" is in order !



Let me know how you solved your hosting!

PS. EE 1.10 will be up today.

Cheers,

Pekka

For regular unix web hosting, I've found a gem at http://www.canadawebhosting.com . I've not put two domains up. With the most recent, I ordered a new account with new domain; they had the working site up in two hours and the full domain was working within 24 hours. Best I've seen. The features are nice and the price converts to less than $10 USD. No set-up or time requirement either.

The domains I have there are http://www.Lions41-L.org/ and http://www.MaineFocus.com/ (which is just getting started and only a shell of its future self).
