Advice needed on creating a business website.
I want to create a web space of my own soon to promote myself as a photographer and use as a business portal. Does anyone have a suggestion of what web host, service, or template(s) to use? And/or the pros/cons of the above. Who do you use and why? What do you like or dislike about it? Who would you use if you could do it over? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I host over a Smugmug for the following reasons:
$149 per year for unlimited storage. I also use it as a remote backup for all my originals.
I can sell prints with a very polished interface.
I can keyword each pic for great SEO results
It is very easy to set up and change if you know nothing about coding. If you can code, you can do whatever you want to change the look.
Smugmug pays a lot of money for SEO.
Been with them for 5 years, no problems at all out of them.

Michael,
I have my domain, as well as host server, setup through 1and1.com. The whole thing cost me about $30.00 per year. While I do all the design for my site they do have several templates you can use. I've been using them for about 3 years and have never had a problem with them.
Like anything else on the internet, you're going to get a million opinions about this. Hopes this helps.
