Hi all,
I wonder if you folks can recommend photo hosting websites, that include ecommerce with printing to your clients. Thanks so much, and any input is appreciated.

I just did this about a month ago. I was using wordpress with a plug in on my own server to host my site and sell images online. Payment was handled through paypal. But the whole thing was just cumbersome, buggy and slow. So I switched entirely to smugmug. I tried other options and I'm sure everyone has a preference but smugmug just worked. It was super easy to use an intuitive. The things I've discovered I don't like about it are its lack of blogging ability. There is a kind of workaround to create new pages and such as blog posts but it's more effort than it should be. The other issue I have with it is its inability to allow you to embed html scripts like google maps and forms and such. I'm also not too sure about its seo capabilities.

But as far as designing a site, having galleries and images and especially its ecommerce abilities, I'm fairly happy with it for the price.

you also want a site that won't steal your photos - IIRC, some will do that ("legally" thru their licensing agreement) - at least the sharing sites, instagram and maybe pinterest

I looked at smugmug, has anyone used photoreflect.com. Their prices seem more reasonable.
Thanks
Jeff

I use Zenfolio, but I'm just a hobby guy. Dunno how it would work out for commercial purposes. Linky for another discussion -
