Here are a few links to programs I recommend:

Hosting:
I have worked with clients that have worked with all of these hosting companies. All of them offer cPanel, which is the easiest way to back up data and makes it much easier to add and upgrade programs. Click any banner for more information.

Other:

Unsure what blog platform to go with? Typepad does offer lots of features, one the best being easy to use photo albums. They’ll even give you a free trial!

I have to admit, I’m just not a Flickr fan. Too public, too big. I use SmugMug for hosting my scrapbooking layouts and photos. No, it isn’t free, but it comes with lots of features and is very reasonable at $39.95 a year. Check it out!

External hard drives are great…so are DVDs and CDs…but another great option is an online backup service. Mozy is one of the best, visit them and find out why!

Need to send or share files online? Box.net is a great service that gives you unlimited bandwidth for your file sharing needs!
