The answers...

1. We will provide you with a FREE Trial Preview Gallery web hosting site that has a 500 image display capacity free for 60 days. If you need more storage capacity for a project,  it can be purchased in blocks of 1000 images for only $10 per month. After your free trial is over you pay only $4.95 per month for the basic gallery with 500 image capacity. Added capacity is only billed as needed at $10 per 1000 images. This means as long as your gallery has 500 or fewer images, it will cost you only $4.95 per month. Even if you have signed up for additional capacity, the fee is only charged after your total storage exceeds the initial 500 image capacity.

2. There are no maintenance fees, commission charges or recurring fees. There are no contracts, or any additional fees to keep your Gallery Online. Add or subtract storage capacity as needed, or cancel altogether at any time, and you will be charged only for what has been used up to that point. There are never any commissions charged to your on-line sales made through your Preview Gallery. You set your own prices for products and shipping.

3. We have removed the difficulty associated with other online web hosting solutions. We have created an easy to use setup solution that will have you uploading your images to your own personalized Preview Gallery-In one hour or less. On-line video tutorials can be accessed at any time, and we offer hands-on workshops from time to time that cover the basic concepts. Check our website for the next Preview Gallery Workshop.

A few clicks are all that is necessary to safely upload you order to our server.
