This looks like a good deal. I'm at 15G with a 20G limit. The 120G
limit would last for quite some time. However, I don't follow the CPU
and RAM limits.
CPU and RAM limits (most hosts don't spell those out specifically) would be
a problem on a shared server if one user ran complex scripts, CGI or PHP,
that took a lot of time and memory to run. Usually 4 or 5 % CPU usage is
the limit; RAM limits depend on the machine. The server my sites are on
also host 200+ other sites so if one site hogs the machine resources the
other sites would suffer. I stick mainly to Wordpress PHP scripts and don't
fool around with core parts of those; so far no problems.
As I recall your site is mostly static pages so CPU/RAM limits shouldn't be
a concern to you, even with the huge amount of pictures you have.
1and1 is OK, but they do have some fine print you have follow. i.e. - they
offer a lot of "free" stuff but that locks you into a one year contract.
Also, I don't register my domains with them. Makes it easier to change
hosts if I run into problems.
I use godaddy for registration. Registration is another thing that has
fallen in cost over the years. It used to be around $30 a year when
all you had was network solutions.
