SquareSpace is a US based web hosting and development platform that I use for my personal website ( www.miralightimaging.com ). I've found their template driven development platform relatively easy to use and the service and support very reliable. I'm on the basic US$8 per month plan which includes domain registration.

The code above (and lots of others available through photography websites and blogs) gives 10% off your first invoice. Free domain registration (.com, .net, .org etc, but no .au domains) is available if you sign up for one year. There's also a free two week fully functional trial period - no credit card required.

  I really wanted to like SquareSpace and I tried the 2 week free trial, but I found it too slow to render pages. I guessed it was because they probably only have servers in the US. My current Joomla site hosted in Australia was about twice as fast, so in the end I decided to stay with my current site. Can anyone else confirm speed comparisons?

    I find it fast enough. I'm not trying to sell anything, so a slight delay is acceptable. It does take a short time to load the pictures, but that's the nature of the site.

    For me, the selling point was the fact that I really didn't have to understand website development to get it off the ground. The ease of registering a domain also helped.

    If you need faster speed, why not stick with Square and host the larger files on a local CDN?

  So this is just a web template and domain service? No hosting or bandwidth options?

    No, hosting is provided, as well as bandwidth. No email though.
