Building your Website

Hello

I see many of you have a website, i am thinking of creating one as well, but i dont know which web-page provider to use that is reasonable in monthly fees and offers a lot and is reliable. And is also easy to use.

I have been on the Internet looking through so many and now i am very confused.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks :)

My host is NetFirms which was acquired by Tucows about a year ago. I have 2 primary domains and use one of them to display some of my photos. I have a general area anyone can look at and a secondary area you need a password for, so only those specifically invited can see photos there. I have not bothered, but it would be easy to set up a number of galleries, each with their own passwords, which I would probably do if I was having customers visit to look at their photos.

They offer a number of tools that I do not make any use of. There are tools and templates to allow you to create a photography site with e-commerce. I laid out the folders in a way that made sense to me and coded it with HTML to get the look I wanted. Lots of options.

I have seen ads for other hosting services that offer less capacity for less money, it depends on what your wants/needs are.

I used IFP 3 the last 2 years, and I love it, have a look at my website www.dianedugas-imagen.com you can customize as you want, very easy to use I will never go back, I used to do it myself from scratch never again!

They also have a promo using a referal code "see info bellow" that can reduce the cost for the first year, the regular cost is $30.00 per month, $150 for 6 Months and $240.00 per year,

It's a WIN! WIN!

Free months will be added to your ifp3.com account when your friends use your referral code to signup with ifp3. In addition, your friends will also receive the same free months for using your Referral Code. You will be sent an email notifying you if your referral code has been used.

PLEASE NOTE: The referral code must be entered when your referral SUBSCRIBES to ifp3 (not creates a free trial). There is a field in the subscription form called "Referral Code". The referral code should be entered there. Referral bonuses are only awarded if the referral enters the referral code at the time they subscribe.

If the person you refer to ifp3 subscribes to a:
Monthly Subscription		You each receive 1 month FREE!
Bi-Yearly Subscription		You each receive 2 Months FREE!
Yearly Subscription		You each receive 3 Months FREE!
2 Year Subscription		You each receive 5 Months FREE!
3 Year Subscription		You each receive 6 Months FREE!

Your Referral Code: FFDEA20

The way it work you still have to pay the full amount, but they add the free months at the end of your subscription time line.

As you can see it is a big referal program, I never used it, I found IFP3 on google, but if you are interested have a look at their feature, and try it for free to see if you like it:)
