I am searching for a hosting service that can accommodate my growing photo archive, which currently receives around 1,000 visitors. I require at least 400GB of storage space and fast loading speeds, as well as reliable technical support.

Looking ahead, I plan to eventually move to a hosting center and transition to VDS. However, I do not believe this is necessary at the moment.

Plan

If you are looking to host erоtic material, Germany may not be the best option as there are strict laws regarding this type of content. Instead, Holland may be a more suitable choice. However, whether to use shared hosting or a VPS will depend on your specific needs and script.

EuroHoster.org is one hosting provider to consider, as they offer good channels and pricing. Another option worth exploring is Zomro hosting.

If the goal is to create something like a photohosting of pictures, with the ability to upload and download, then my advice to you is to choose hosting a2hosting.com. Your best bet is the $6/month plan (unlimited space) with a one-year lease, and then you can upgrade to a VPS or VDS. Of course, if you have a photo of an erоtic plan, then it is better to choose hosting in France or the Netherlands.

There are many good servers in Holland and the UK and mediocre ones in France. I suggest renting a server from Hostwinds or BlueHost. If the photo archive is not encoded (double encryption), then I strongly recommend renting hosting from a provider from France - sharp corners are easier to get around there. In general, large servers are best rented only in data centres in Europe.
If you are looking for a budget option, you can rent from Hostinger. They have a fast response time, though not as strong servers as others.

For an HTML gallery generator that is both inexpensive and unlimited, consider using Jaba album.

While Fotki.com may seem appealing at first glance, be aware that they have a tendency to add additional fees for services that were not initially included. Despite purchasing an annual premium subscription, not all features were included, and as a result, the cost of storing files on the website added up quickly.

To avoid these hidden fees, it may be worthwhile to switch to a platform like Joomla and use Jaba gallery to generate galleries for your website. This will allow you to have more control over your content without being blindsided by unexpected costs.

A lot of hostings fall under your criteria. For photo hosting, with an audience of 1,000 or, say, 5,000 users, the main thing is a stable signal and a place on ftp. Half of the hosting companies can help with disk space, but not all of them can help with a stable connection with a large number of simultaneous connections. I recommend A2hosting.com (price - $5). Unlim on ssd disk and simultaneous connection (hits); There are daily backups. The second option - Ipage.com - free domain and SSL certificate for a year, unlimited disk space and connection (its minus is little known, although the company has been operating since `98).
