It is so hard to know where to start talking about SmugMug. In a nutshell - they do photo sharing right!

First there are no ads or spam on your photo sharing space. Then there is the security; password protected albums and backups of their servers kept in 3 different places. I don't even protect my own photos as well as SmugMug!

Then there are the features - too many to talk about, but here are some of the ones that really catch my attention:

• Online Cropping - eliminate the bad parts of your photos
• Personalized URLs
• Unlimited storage and traffic
• Backup DVDs
• Cool interface to organize, tag and search for photos
• Put your photos on a Google Map
• Online Communities
• 3 different account types, including a professional account for selling your images

SmugMug is not free. It is also not the cheapest photo sharing website available on the net. But - to use an old cliche - you get what you pay for. Free sites are often only free if you buy prints or are so covered in ads and popups that you can't even find your own pictures. SmugMug is ad free and offers dedicated support personnel. Think you can get support from a free site?

Honestly it is everything that a photo sharing website should be. Start your FREE Trial - no credit card required.
