Hi Ken,

have a look at smugmug (www.smugmug.com). That´s where I have my gallery and I am very happy with it. It looks nice, it doesn´t cost "mega bucks", it is super easy to use but also customizable.
If you are interested in unlimited hosting to show your work, it is worth considering.

Cheers!

DK

Hi Ken !

You can also take a look to pbase.com.
Easy, low coast, 200 Mo of space...

Bye :-)

...you'd like to get, check www.fotopic.net. Up to 500 Mb... and free!
With many more options to buy more storage volume, extra features, etc.
Besides, the people over there are nice and really reactive. And it helps, for sure! ;-)

pbase propose un environnement de photographes passionnés amateurs et professionnels. Ce site est aussi une référence pour les éditeurs ou les agences qui y découvrent régulièrement de nouveaux talents.

Fotopic est essentiellement destiné au partage de photos entre amis et familles... Le choix d'un espace d'expo sur le net ne dépend pas toujours de l'espace fourni et du tarif proposé, le contexte de la "base" peut aussi avoir son importance dans l'immédiat, ou à l'avenir...

Hi, I chose to include a sript at my own homepage.

Take a look at: http://photography.janmatthies.info

The script cost was one-time EUR 40.
But I fear you need a little webdesign experience if you like to install it yourself.
Of course the "runnings costs" for the website will have to be added if you plan to "only" run the website for photography.

Hope this helps a little.
Yours, Jan

I've customized the hell out of it on my web site, but the Coppermine Photo Gallery is amazing. You'd need to rent some space on a service provider, which doesn't cost much these days, and ensure that they support PHP and MySQL, but once you have that, it's pretty easy to set up.
