Right. Badly worded, but two different questions in one post.

One solution for image posting for lists, family and friends, etc. 
That's the short term need.

In the longer term, I need a different solution for hosting a web site. 
I do know I'll need to pay a host to get an adequate site for commercial 
use. But, that's about all I know so far.

Well, I do know I'm gonna' get someone to help develop the web site 
itself instead of trying to do it by myself. I don't want to spend my 
time being a web developer; I want to take pictures and have people buy 
them ... while I travel some and hopefully take more pictures people 
will want to buy.

My problem with the web hosting area is I'm still very un-informed, to 
the point of not knowing even what questions to ask. What should I look 
for in a host?

More fundamentally, where might I look to educate myself so I know what 
questions to ask?
