Web galleries...which one?

[PARADISE HUNTER]

Just curious what web galleries uw photographers are using and why. Some of the ones I've heard mentioned are: Flickr, PhotoBucket, Snapfish and Shinning Sea Studio.

Being new to photography, I might not be aware of what my future storage needs are. But for now I'm looking for a free place to store photos and be able to give others album specific access.

Thanks,

PH

If those are your requirements then I'd go with Flickr for now

ShiningSeaStudio is my personal website. It is hosted by Smugmug, which you can add to your list of possible selections.
Flickr does not prevent right click copying of your pictures by visitors. You can avoid that with Smugmug. Not certain about the other sites you list. I pay for access. The amount you pay depends on the service level you want.
Based on your comments, I suspect Flickr might meet your needs and price.

A terrabyte of free space on flickr is a good start, is it not?

I use Photobucket primarily, but also have a Flickr account as well as Scubaboard's own gallery. BTW kcmayes1, there are ways around saving photos from SmugMug.

+1 for Flickr. The new layout and large storage allowance make this one easier. I'm about to sign up.

Until now I have been using PBase. I like the simplicity of their galleries- very simple HTML with an option to prevent right clicking. You can customize the fonts and colors in each gallery. The dowside is that the storage allowance is small and PBase's search capabilities are small.

FYI stopping right clicking on images does very little. Anyone using Firefox with only a modest amount of experience would know how to bypass it.
