How much time does it take to rent all the time in the year?

No; it's a might do, could do, should do for this Winter. We'll see! I hear how Personal Websites are helping some others but I remain to be completely convinced for myself.Fraise wrote:Aw shucks, I thought you'd got your own up and running without telling anyone!!
In the meantime, the Listing Sites are producing what I need even with just a few lousy pictures.

" Personal Websites are helping some others"
They can't do any harm, Alan - I put lots of photos on a wanadoo diy site, I direct enquirers to this & they are usually persuaded to book. No links, google will never find me, but it's worth my time to pay a few big sites to maintain visibility.

Alexia,
At the moment I am involved with a house being built next door to me. I am preparing a weekly report of progress, with photographs, for the owner who lives in England. It's sort of OK doing it through the e-mail system but his ISP limits the size of attachments which means I have to optimise the photographs before sending. It's all a bit of a pain. How much easier it would be just to post it all to a Personal Website where he could view, save or print whenever he wanted.

For me, that would be one of the most important features....I put lots of photos on a wanadoo diy site...

Try www.flickr.com/ - it's free and the optimising is done for you - it's saved me a lot of time.

OK you guys. I am now seriously thinking about getting a domain name and arranging web hosting.
I will want my own website name, not something tagged onto an ISP address. I will want lots of space for albums of pictures. I will want simple but comprehensive reporting. I'm sure I'll want plenty others things but I don't know what they might be.
Does anyone have any experience of Easyspace.com? It looks like a one-stop shop but is it what I should be looking for?
Any suggestions would be most gratefully received.
Will I become un-Fluffy in the process?

Paul,
I not quite sure that fluffy.anything is quite what I have in mind - nice thought though. On the other hand it might attract attention on the basis of "what the Hell's all that about?". Easyshare has a domain name availability search so I can play with the name to my heart's content.
Have you taken a look at the Easyshare offerings? If you have, do you think they look OK? Cost is not the prime issue although I don't like throwing money away.
Thanks.
Alan

I use http://www.123-reg.co.uk and its never gone down, the price is ok, so I have never felt the need to shop around. I did have a quick look and it looked ok to me. This a very competitive market and I think most of these company's are offering roughly the same things...give or take.
Cheers

123-reg has always served us well, but I am currently moving sites off there because it doesn't support PHP. Would you care? Maybe not. I think CGI is not well supported also - I don't remember FormMail etc being provided as standard, unless it has been added recently. Very good for a 'standard' host however.
http://ukwebsolutionsdirect.co.uk/hosting.php is good and includes everything you could want.
I recently changed to use acewebhosting.com which also seems reliable.
These latter two are more hands on than 123-reg.com hence slightly more complicated to use.
Cheers
