Hi guys. Since Flickr changed the free accounts I really should pay for a service to host my photos. I doubt I'm the biggest user of 'community' features (who has the time?) but I'd like somewhere to put them that I can link albums that display nicely for friends and family etc. Facebook and Instagram are not cutting it. I tried Google Photos last week for an album and it was pretty hard going. The only additional would be somewhere that people could purchase prints etc? Unsure how that works on SM or Flickr. I have a very old RedBubble account that I sold a few items from but if I could ditch that and merge into Flickr/SM then that would be good.
My Dad recommends Smug Mug but honestly I can't stand the name (
) and it's a bit more expensive than Flickr, especially what with the most recent email discount they're doing. It seems a bit more 'involved' too, does anyone have any examples of a site built with SM? Not sure I have the time..
Any recommendations? I'm also wary of going back to Flickr as it sounds like they're still losing money! I don't want to pay £40/yr for it to be abandoned...
tldr; I think I need something that does...
- Unlimited hosting of full-res photos for backup
- Public and private albums
- Ability to sell items?
