Default Web Hosting?

Who do you like?

I need something easy to use! Cheap is always a plus, too, LOL =)
And what should I make sure to look for in regards to space limitations for a photo site and possibly blog?

I recommend Saratoga Hosting. You won't get an "unlimited" plan there, but you will get honest answers about what you can and can't do with the service. My site is hosted their now and it is twice the size in terms of files, photos, and bandwidth usage as it was on LunarPages and I have had ZERO problems.

First, don't fall for the "unlimited storage and bandwidth" gimmicks. They all have some sort of fine print that lets them limit you and shut down your site with no warning.

Lunarpages, for example, limits your "unlimited" storage to 50K files or some such. You can have one file that is a zillion TB if you want, but have 50K 100KB files and your sunk.

They also limit your server resource usage to less than one percent of the server.

They also get you if you have too many email accounts although they say you can have some rediculous number. The limit comes in terms of connections, which depending on what email client you use can be up to 4 per account.

If I sound bitter, well, I am
