Default Website hosts for photographers

Can anyone recommend a good website host?

I'm looking for something affordable, easy to use, that will let me upload a lot of photos for clients. I've already got a site at Go Daddy but it's slow loading my pages and will only allow me a limited number of pictures. I really like smugmug but it's not a traditional "website" host. Maybe that's all I need for now.

I use Geek Storage and have been very happy with them. There have been few problems, and those that did pop up where fixed really quick.

I've recently run across Nearly Free Speech and that looks interesting.

If you're going to edit, please make your edit private. I don't want my stuff floating around in other people's photostreams.

If you have Godaddy, I suggest you install Coppermine Gallery (Coppermine Photo Gallery) on your site. It is specifically designed to create galleries. I think Godaddy will install it for free from the control pannel, but if it doesn't, you can always download it and install it mannually.
