I'd like to get a domain name and start up a website that I can use to display my pictures, mostly baby pictures. I've never run a website before, but come from a technical background so it doesn't intimidate me. I'd like to have some albums in the website be password protected and don't want any of the images showing up in a Google search. I don't want to host the site myself since I don't want to have my computer on all day. I don't have any need for email and I would probably store a max of a few thousand pictures there. If I can keep the cost of this down to less than $100/yr, that'd be great!
It seems like I have two choices, get a domain name and find a web hosting company, or get a domain name and point it to something like smugmug.com.
I currently use Picasa and upload my pictures to Google which I like, but would like to see if there's a better way than just pointing the domain to my Google Picasa page.
Any suggestions or specific site recommendations? I hear that it's not a good idea to get the domain name and host the domain with the same company?
Thanks.
