WordPress Hosting for Photographers

Your photographs deserve a website that loads as fast as it looks. Slow gallery pages and compressed images drive potential clients away before they ever see your best work.

The Photographer's Hosting Problem

Photography websites are uniquely demanding. Large, high-resolution images strain shared hosting. Gallery plugins need server resources. Client proofing areas need security. And mobile visitors — increasingly your largest audience — need fast-loading responsive galleries.

How SiteICO Solves It

Optimized image delivery: FrankenPHP serves your images through Cloudflare's global CDN with automatic WebP conversion for browsers that support it

Daily automated backups: Your entire portfolio — every image, every gallery — backed up automatically with one-click restore
Custom domain + free SSL: yourname.com with HTTPS, professional and trustworthy

Recommended Setup

Starter plan ($9/mo) handles most photography portfolios. Pair it with:

Gallery plugin: Envira Gallery, FooGallery, or Flavor Gallery
Client proofing: Flavor for password-protected proofing galleries
Booking: Amelia or Simply Schedule Appointments for session booking
Portfolio theme: Any photography-focused theme (flavor, flavor, flavor)
