First of all, I struggle with the whole website technical stuff. I use software called Web Easy professional 8 to create my site. (the whole "easy" word is why I originally purchased it years ago). It is a WYSISYG program and I go thru their "upload changes to your site" process to make changes to my site. I know nothing about ftp and httpdocs and all that greek stuff. I bought Photo Cart years ago and had Tim install on my site. I use Dave's Uploader to load everything there. Basically I am a "next" button junkie and don't change anything as long as it works and my site seems to look ok. Tim created a great thing that works well on the default settings, and Dave's Uploader is a Godsend as I post tons of photos from events, along with sr pics and a few weddings.
I am currently using ihost as my hosting company, as they were the ones that sort of went hand in hand with this WebEasy program when I bought it. I am now paying about $25 a month for my site and $15 each year to renew my domain name. They recently said I am over my 20GB allowed space and want to charge another $10 a month to add on 10 more GB. They say they dont offer unlimited space.
Am I being ripped off major??
I think I'm needing to move my site to somewhere else but need help and am getting lost in trying to search for a good host that will work with my WebEasy software and the Photo Cart stuff too.
I would be thrilled if anyone out there that would like to point me in the right direction and would like to reply to this plea for help. lol
I want to be able to continue to use my WebEasy program as it's what I'm used to and I really dont have time or desire to build my site thru another place.
Any suggestions from anyone?
my site is eyeofthehorsephotography.com if anyone wants to look . It's basic.. it's simple.. and I dont need fancy but i do need to display photos and lots of them.

Depending on the quality of the hosting, $35 a month isn't too bad. Yes you can get cheaper hosting around $10 per month, but a lot of those hosts have a "file limit" of around 250,000 files. And if you are using 20GB of storage, you probably have more than that in files.

If you want to move to a new host, here are the instructions (and 20GB is a lot to move):
