Photographs speak for themselves; they capture our memories, share our passions, and demonstrate our skills. So how can we best showcase our digital world of photos?
The first thing to consider is what level of photographic web hosting we are going to need. Well, what type of photographer are you?
If you just want to share your trip to Washington, DC or show off your German shepherd playing Frisbee, there is a free solution. There are many social networking sites to choose from to host your photos, making it easy for your friends and family to enjoy the photos without having to send everyone large email attachments. The sites are generally easy to navigate, and you can build your own site almost instantly by choosing your favorite photos and uploading them to a photo gallery. Free hosting, however isn’t always reliable, and you have to append your domain name to the main name of the free web hosting site. Also, be prepared for unwanted advertisements and pop ups, which free hosts use to offset their own costs. You will be limited in terms of features, you may be limited in the number of visitors allowed to view your photos, and may will be limited to the number of pages you can have. It’s also possible someone can steal your images, so if you don’t have a lot of visits, and you limit the number of photos you show, then the free site is an easy solution
