alreza.smugmug.com

This post may be a tad late. I finally decided to subscribe to smugmug (thanks to fox for the introduction)!! This service provider is among the 3 largest and most popular for photo image storing and sharing besides the famous flickr and photo.net.

Although all have communities, flickr appears best for the masses with extensive group communities. Photo.net I would say are more for professionals (you should see the amazing gallery they have) and it is great for peer review of your own work though I would not recommend it for the faint-hearted as these guys look like they're seriously of the pro community. They also offer equipment reviews and have a learning centre. I prefer registering with smugmug because they back up data to 3 data centres and if you take up the moderate to full membership, you are able to modify the look and feel of your site and you can even set print prices to make profit (pro account users only).
