Site designed for Pros that amateurs can benefit from. Best privacy protection for your photos on the web. Easy to share prints with a single click or lock them with any password for private viewing of those you choose. Customer service got back to me on my question with in minutes. By far the best.
Support sucks

I had to log in 2 to 3 times each time. usually the second try worked NEVER hte first. took 5 months till it was fixed. they said it was my PC - I used 4 PC at work & home. then they said it was my browser (I tried multiple). Then months later it just started working.
But every issue I had their response was always "YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG"
Try someone else.
Smugmug

I have been using the free Flickr account to host my photos. After reaching the 200 photos limit to the free account, it was time to consider a paid account to host my increasing number of photos.
The 2 photo sharing sites that i mainly considered at the end was choosing between Flickr and SmugMug. After much deliberation, as well as going through reviews and sample sites, I finally chose SmugMug.
The feature that I like best about SmugMug is the ability to control the access of different galleries. With password protection enables the user to allow certain individuals to view certain galleries. For example, the password for the family album can be given to only family members and not for public view. The best part is that they do not need an account to access the protected photos.
The ability to change the layout with different backgrounds made the site look more professional as compared to the white background of the other site.
The other great features had been outlined above and does not need repeating here.
The downside is only the community aspect of it. Flickr has a much more active community. I do not want to pay for 2 separate accounts, therefore i am only maintaning the free account with Flickr to take part in the community aspect of it. However only 200 photos can be shared at one time.
There is also a generous referral programme in which discounts can be obtained by new and current users.
Take your time, use the 14 day trial period before committing yourself, then you would not regret it.
