I am looking at purchasing a domain name and obtain a service where I can post my photos. My goal is to post a few hundred photos from different events and be able to have the viewers purchase the prints they see online. What I am looking for is:
What service should I look at for displaying that many photos?
Are there companies who will print and ship the photos once they are ordered through a link on my webpage?
I have found many inexpensive domain companies and I don't think that will be a problem. I see some people purchase a domain and then have it forwarded to their PBASE.COM gallery once it is entered, or other similiar sites. Any suggestions would be helpfull.

| This question has been asked and answered several times recently.This is one of them that lists some others. It's not that you are being ignored. Also it is a holiday weekend in the US so you might get more responses when people get back home. |

I use powweb.com
$7.77/month
5 gig storage
domain registration free
sub domains
plus all the normal things
they also have free Gallery software for install at the click of a button
the gallery software inclueds the option to order prints from a number of online services, photoworks and shutter fly in the US plus over seas options
have a look at the gallery on my site (its new and not a lot of photos yet) //www.mcgoffs.net/std-wide.php?content=content/photo-cont.php
you can password protect individual albums so only the correct customer can see them
just had a look at powweb and for the next 12 hours they are offering an extra 6 mnth free if you sign up for 2 years

i am a big fan of HASWEB
serveral websites myself or my husband webmaster are hosted there including subdomains.
The cheapest (which will probably be ample for your needs) is 34.95 a year with Disk Space 500 MB Bandwidth 10 GB/ month and all those things that the other cheapies dont give you like fantastico, shopping cart, my sql, php, frontpage access etc (Some people pay 50 a month to have some of these programs included in thier package).
They are extremely fast with customer service responces, they always have a man in the know active on thier forums. Also, if you do fine art nudes, they are fine with nudity.
And i don't get a referal, so THATS how much i like them hahah.
Oh, and Active domain home of the 9.95/yr domain name.

Thank you for the information so far, I have been looking at the many hosting services. Maybe what would help now is ideas of how people have set-up their sites. I've seen some very nice pages from members. Any suggestions would help.

I went simple and clean...well in my opinion.. //www.sabphotography.com and used Front Page. Did frames to keep the menu on the side and images in the middle, set up a table, hid the borders and inserted the images. You could also use the very basic (can't change much) Adobe Photoshop Automate web gallery thingy...I used it here. //www.sabphotography.com\gardens and here //www.sabphotography.com\babyk (notice this does an auto slide show) so there are a few options to it.
A friend just referred me to //www.mambohut.com but I haven't looked deeply into it yet, check out the demo and gallery, really cool.
Good luck
p.s. I use //www.hosteazy.com for my web hosting.
