I want to get an account set up. I noticed lately that a lot of the photobucket pictures have been made unavailable. Reason? Who do you folks recommend that I sign up with. Thanks. geoff

Big Smugmug fan here, having been a customer for 4 years.
You get an MOA discount, as well.
There's much to be said for free, but my experience is that things rarely are.
My smugmug site looks exactly the way I want it to look. It contains no ads. It's fast and reliable. It's infinitely customizable by me or by users. I can control access to content or allow full access, I can password protect, really do just about anything.
I pay a modest fee once per year and have had exactly 0 problems. I might also add that they have in-house professionals and artists-in-residence as well as a number of subsidiary websites, such as dgrin.com. It's a fantastic learning environment, has great customer support (from staff as well as users), myriad contests and even just plain, old give-aways. Dgrin.com is giving a high-quality camera strap (something that would retail for about $12 or $15) to everyone who asks for one. That's pretty cool.
I can't knock others' experience with other sites; I'm sure they have their merits. Personally, I'm so annoyed when I'm directed to a site with advertising, or for which I must sign up, I rarely go beyond that wall to actually look at the pictures.
That may just be me.
