Would you know of websites especially designed to support how an artist wishes to display their work to the internet community? I am trying to find a new host. I am searching for a site that will allow me to use my .com name.

Artspan.com is a good place. They host many artists and you can keep your own.com.

Yessy is a good place. www.yessy.com. You can't keep your own name but you add it to the end, ie., www.yessy.com/whateveryournameis

www.artwanted.com is an excellent site.

I have just posted my new website and have been able to post a good portion of my work on my web- and I have the ability to post more when I want to. I just have Yahoo do it for me. I am paying a very small fee per month for their hosting. It is very easy and cost effective. See my new website at- Celebrating New Website
Hope this helps! Deb

If you do a search on a search engine, you'll find websites that compare domain hosts. You can compare the cheap and the expensive. Check out a few of such sites, and read the users feedback.

I did this when looking for a host, and found one that offered all the services I required and for the right price.

Allot of domain hosts are resellers, so there you really need to compare prices.

Once you've chosen your host, you just change the address details on your account with whom you purchased your domain name from. It will be in the instructions page on your chosen host.

I use www.impactfolios.com Super easy to use. One can post 200 images.

If you have FrontPage by Microsoft, you can build your own and host it wherever. My site is hosted by www.godaddy.com . They only charge 9$9.99/year to host. The only problem with this is that if you choose this option, they display their ad banner at the top of every one of your pages. You can upgrade to an economy account for $4.99/month, which is still a pretty small fee.
