Basically I am a photographer looking to make a website. I want a site that will allow me to host my images for a reasonable cost.

​

Ideally, I would have at least 100GB (I would like to look into any unlimited plans as my photos end up being 14-18MB each) of storage for my photos(being able to back up 40MB RAW images would also be nice).

It would just be a basic site where I can send my clients to look at my work and have access to their photos I take as a means of distribution.

​

I am currently looking for a domain and email to be set up this week. The web host can wait a week or two and I'll probably use the free site builder to start initially just to show off my work before I have something custom built with the part about clients being able to access their own photos.

​

I saw that DreamHost has a yearly plan with unlimited storage and email service. The Shared Ultimate plan. Any drawbacks or downsides with them? I could knock out all three things with their service for a price I would be happy with.

​

• What is your monthly budget? ($200-300 yearly/2years It depends more on getting what I want at a reasonable price)
• Where are you/your users located? (US)
• What kind of site are you hosting (Wordpress, phpBB, custom software, etc) or what is your use case? (I'm not sure, need suggestions based on what I want to do above)
• Do you have a monthly traffic volume? Estimates are ok. (Whoever I send to my site, I don't expect more than 1k a month)
• If you’re looking at VPSes: Do you have experience administrating linux servers and infrastructure? (No but I am decently okay and comfortable with CommandLine and Terminal operations, know a bit of HTML and Python)
• Did you read the sidebar/check out the hosts listed there? I've personally vetted these companies and their services are a good fit for 99% of people. (Yes, I am looking for storage plans that are better suited for me
