You can check out the webhosting request section. (There are many good ones on this forum.)

To host your website you should be able to start with a small hosting account then add as you grow.

It really depends on how many pictures you will have and how much traffic (visitors visiting and viewing pages.) That you expect to get in a month.

That goes a long way towards determing how much hosting you will need.

The average hosting account needs between (being generous here.) 100-500 MB space. (That's quite a bit of space.) and 2-5 GB of transfer. (Again that's being generous and giving you a pretty big range.)

Hope that helps. This forum is very helpful so if you need anything just post and you should be able to get help.

Another couple of points is to look for someone who has a money back guarantee or free trial period. That way there is no risk other than your time initially to try and see if you find someone with a good fit.

And because you are new ask some questions to your potential host and see if they have the patience to answer them in a way you understand.

Always solid advice for someone new to web hosting. Some web hosts will be more than happy to guide you through everything so you have a good experience. Others tend to aim more towards the 'professional user' end of customer accounts.

A few e-mails to prospective hosts you think suit your requirements is a good way to gauge whether you think the host will be there to help.

Never be afraid to tell them you're new and would appreciate any help they have to offer.

I realy enjoyed reading lots of subjects here realating to my
requist. this is a great fourm .... I'm glad to be here

Hai,

It's doesn't matter which host you're going to select.

Have you selected your specifcation to your need....

I feel to your need 500 MB space 7000 MB BW

with audio/video streaming support........


i din't heard about-"lightningservers.net"

but if they offer the above mentioned things with general hosting features around $20-$25.

It's a nominal one......

more over for the general precautionion look for moneyback policy...

and don't go for an annual plan straight way initially go for the monthly plan.....

and verify their uptime and technical support...

email them about those things look their response how fast and helpfull to you...........
