I would like your response. I am hosting my pictures on FAA Fine Art America, I am not really happy with the way they do things. I would like to if anyone has a good hosting site that is reasonable in price and a good site for hosting.
Thank you guy in advance. I looked through the topics in the past and could not find anything on this. Hope I didn't over look it.
Thanks again for your help.

When you say "hosting" do you mean a place that will provide the canned pages (site) to sell your images?
Or will you be building your own site?

Typically, a "Hosting Company" is where a website is located (stored).
The company that hosts my site does not provide "websites" for artists or photographers.

Overlooking the technically incorrect nomenclature of the OP permits me to reframe his post: He seems to be asking if Hoggers can recommend another e-commerce site for his art other than Fine Art America. I looked at the Fine Art America site; it claims to host more than 100,000 artists. The range of products is vast, going well beyond products of the visual arts. It’s no wonder that some art would get lost in the mix.

That said, I have no direct experience with monetizing my art (yet), although I have been “noodling” about doing so and what approach I might use. So far, I lean away from sites like FAA or Etsy because I want to be on a site devoted to photographic art — a decision that isn’t locked in at this point, by the way. I saw an article on Pentapixel.com (https://petapixel.com/2021/05/12/format-adds-prints-marketplace-with-automatic-fulfillment/) that addresses this matter. I am also leaning away from setting up my own website and I am not ruling out affiliating with or using more than a single site.

I suspect both the OP and I have a great deal of parallel research to do and perhaps this topic will reappear with more heft.

Edited to add: A Google search found plenty of information, but this link (https://www.shutterbuggs.com/top-16-ecommerce-solutions-professional-photographers/) resonated with me. And, if offers a bit of correction to my criticism of the nomenclature. It seems that "hosting" in this context is one of the correct or acceptable terms.

I don’t sell any of my photos, but the site I use allows you the ability to do so.

I suggest you explore Saatchi Art. Saatchi is a top gallery in London and New York, and hosts a very well respected (and indeed in the art world the most recognized) on line marketplace for artists and photographers.
