Online showcase gallery for photographer or artist

Online image galleriesIf you are a photographer, artist, architect, model, and want to display your work to your potential clients, you need to have a place online to showcase your photos and images. An online photo album is the best way for you to make people aware of your talents and sell your art.

There are nowadays many sites that allow you to upload your photos and even create your own album, and many people take advantage of this. Most of these sites are free, or some expect you to pay a small fee for their services. People like them because they don't need to bother with buying their own domain, finding hosting and fiddling with some software that will teach them how to do it with great difficulty. Also many people don't have the time to learn such software, hence this online photo album alternative.

There is one problem though with this approach. Although the photos are yours, the site is not, with means that you are only present as long as the site is active and alive, or until you want to change hosting. Also competing with thousands of others who have their albums on the very same servers like yours is difficult if you are trying to get your work noticed. So what is the solution?

First of all, if you truly want to be different, you do need your own domain and hosting, preferably a serious hosting that will not disappear in the next foreseeable time. The domain is important because it is yours for as long as you pay for it (just a few bucks a year), and you can choose a very unique name that will allow you to brand yourself and differentiate yourself from the rest.
