Hello,

I made have sites in Europe where I sell portraits from photographs
made in our studio in Manila. I use a variety of providers to host
these sites.

Many Europeans think that the US is THE market to sell your stuff. I am
one of them.
So I decided to build a new site for"the world except Europe". It is
hosted by a 24 dollar a year provider who does a great job for me in
the Netherlands and the UK.

I made a few pages showing images and like to know how it performs.
If any North American group member would check it, I would be happy.
This is the address:
http://www.portraits-international.com/

Thanks in advance.
Tom Klinkhamer.

Speed is very fast. I had no problems with performance.

You may want to shrink down your images on the main pages, though. The
bandwidth costs will quickly become expensive.

visitors.

Tom.

You can always issue http headers to ask ISPs along the chain to cache
images. That way, dozens of visitors from say, Road Runner (if they
use caching, which they probably do), will get faster response, and
you will use less bandwidth.
