Inexpensive web hosting

[Mango]

I'm looking to put my photography portfolio online for some prospective employers. I'd to have a URL with my name in it, rather than a members.shaw.ca etc.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

This is my first time looking at something like this.

Thanks

I've moved to these guys: http://www.cirtexhosting.com/ after dealing with hosts that have been clueless and had downtime.

They come pretty highly recommended.

Dreamhost is a pretty good company as well especially if you are new to hosting; they have a nice control panel. They are huge and aren't a host I'd recommend for business hosting (i.e. if email doesn't work for 2 hours it's not the end of the world), but their supposed bandwidth and disk space offerings are pretty huge.

I haven't personaly used it, but a friend of mine has.

Here's a sample of her album.

If you get your own webhost there's also some free photo gallery software you can setup (or some webhost providers have a 1 click install of it, Dreamhost does).

I'm using BlueHost.com right now... Pretty good for the price ($7 US per month)

www.webhostingtalk.com is a good place to search for reviews of specific hosts. They also have a good area of people making hosting offers.

I now take it you never read the thread (it's still on the 1st page):

Ah, okies.

I just want to put my portfolio online and pass the link on during interviews/meetings, not really a site for surfing (per say).
