Default How to start your own website?

If I get my a$$ in gear, I should have a enough scanned pics soon to

Where do I go to get a website? What's a good price? Are there any
where I can maintain the photos myself, rather than having them do it?


pbase.com is the best and most popular inexpensive advertising free one
I know of. If you want your own domain, 'gallery' is a free php based
program, it takes a bit of studying to set up properly but offers a
similar functionality to pbase and is very expansible and customizeable.
I wrote something similar myself though less sophisticated. Avoid static
published type formats, you want something dynamic and php/mySQL based
so that changes are easy. If you want to sell prints, I don't have good
advice for shopping carts, there are serious security issues and that
will cost money or include advertising which is annoying and unprofessional.
