I would start with the basic starter hosting package. $4/month and plenty of space. You can always upgrade if you need more.

Tough to say. Will you have more than 400MB of pictures to start with? If it is under that then the starter plan should be ok. If it is close you might want to consider the next plan to give some breathing room. Of course it also depends on how popular your site is as well. High traffic might put you into a larger plan right away. I would first see how much room your site needs, pick a plan that it will fin into and then upgrade as necessary.

I'd suggest either one. You can always quickly upgrade.

Hello,

 

I would suggest either, as mentioned above upgrading can be done in touch of a button.

 

I would make sure that you keep your pictures to managable size and if using alot, use some sort of gallery software like gallery 2, coppermine or any of the other amazing scripts out there

Welcome to the forum Jo

If you re-size the images to a reasonable size

and save them with compression, you can get a lot of images on your site.

I have over 1400 images of 300x225 saved with compression to less than 12k each

and yet my site takes less than 250 meg.

 

With CSB you should break your site in to sub folders with a .tlx file for each folder

if you have a lot of images to make it easier to handle.

 

We have a CSB forum also where you can get help.
