Scenario: I’m an artist and am looking for a cheap web hosting company that I can use to host my artist website. The website I have right now is really simple. I don’t sell any of my paintings on there, I just have photos of them. I have about 30 pieces of art that is listed on my websites portfolio page. What hosting should I use?

Solution: As an artist, you want to find a low cost, yet reliable web host. HostMonster would be a great reliable and affordable web host. However, if you are looking for a really affordable web host, Just Host would be good solution for you. Both Hosting companies offer unlimited bandwidth and disk space, which would be perfect for you as an artist, as you can then upload as many pieces of art as you have. You can find Just Host’s unlimited bandwidth plan listed here.

Scenario: I’m an artist. I have a website that displays a couple hundred photographs of my art. The file sizes are large in size. I need a web host that has a lot of bandwidth and disk space. I probably get about 200-500 people a day looking at my art and emailing me about inquires. What is the best web hosting plan and company I can get for my situation?

Solution: For an artist, you want a web hosting company that can offer you unlimited bandwidth and diskspace. Don’t even think of signing up with a web hosting company that has limited amounts of bandwidth or diskspace. Digital photographs and videos showcasing your art can be quite large in size. You want a good web host that can display your website, along with your photos and videos, quickly. You would be best fit for signing up with HostMonster. Their basic, unlimited space plan would be great for you. You can find the plan and sign up for it here.
