Many, if not most, ISPs offer free or very inexpensive, space on their systems for subscribers. I put my pics up on the Earthlink servers and it works just fine for me. Earthlink allows me to have eight mailboxes, and each mailbox comes with a certain amount of free space which I use for hosting pics and galleries. The total is not a huge amount of space, but since it's only used for posting pics, it's been adequate for my needs for years. Total cost = $0.00 All I needed to know how to access the space and a few simple lines of HTML code that allows me to post the pics in the manner I prefer, essentially using the same code for every pic.
While I can write the code for my own galleries - it's really simple and easy to do, there are many free programs out there that can do it for you, such as Porta, the program Godders uses (I think he said it's free) and several of the image editing programs, like Photoshop, will create galleries with a variety of features and designs. Unless your ISP doesn't allow you any free space, I see no reason to used Photonet or other such hosts.
