Check out Dixie Sys., I've been using them for months without any problems, and their service is great. They have a $3.95/month plan with 200MB of space which should be enough for pictures.

Also check out Hosting Matters, but their plans are more expensive.

Hi DrZaius,

The $3.95 sure did catch my eye, so I checked it out. I read some FAQs and did some searching, but I couldn't find what I was looking for.

It appears that they are Not for a total novice like me who doesn't even know how to spell home page, let alone build and upload one.

Do you know if they offer any type of assistance or page builders, and the like??

Thanks!

TwoRails: For $3.95/month all you get is the server space and FTP access, no tools. But, creating/uploading a site is nothing complicated. HTML Goodies gives you all the info you need on creating the pages, and a program like CuteFTP is very simple to use for uploading files.

Awful tempting!! I feel like signing up. My only hesitation is that I know I have months of long days and weekends coming up....

This is one post I'll keep a link of.

Thanks, DrZaius!!
