Photography websites have a specific challenge most other sites don't: large image files that can slow down load times if hosting isn't set up to handle them well.
What matters most
- Generous storage, since high-resolution galleries add up quickly
- Good performance for image-heavy pages, ideally with built-in caching
- Support for gallery-friendly WordPress themes or page builders
- Reasonable bandwidth allowances if your site gets meaningful traffic
Practical tips beyond hosting
Even with strong hosting, compress images before uploading and consider a content delivery network for visitors outside your main region — this matters more for image-heavy sites than almost any other type.
