All,
I need recommendations on a webhost or even VPS provider. Looking for - you guessed it - cheap, reliable, and lots 'o space.
I have a coppermine image gallery on my current host, but for $20/month I just maxed out at 4.5gb of usage. Yes I do not need to use that much, but I was using it to archive and store small and large(yet compressed) versions of images. I guess I tipped the scales last night uploaded 780 compressed images from my NC trip and got an emial today I went over my limit.
I'll probably have to clean it out or check their other plans, but I feel like I can do better. :)
I've run servers at home before, but do not like the support duty. I'd prefer to pay for a virtual server on someone elses managed and secured boxes. Keeping up with security certs, patches, and updates just gets non-fun after a while, so although that is cheap cheap space, I don't feel like doing it and keeping it secure in the long run.
