web gallery recommendation

I'm looking for a good website that I can build a gallery to show some of my images and to hold/showcase clients images when done. Any recommendations?

I currently have an account with GoDaddy for hosting but I'm not sure that's the best bet.

Thanks

    Andy,
    Thanks, I'm on it now. Let me ask you something, can I post the images up but not allow the client to download them only to view them?

    Make sure that you don't allow access to the Original image. Then decide on the largest image that you want to allow access to online. (Your selection depends on what level account you have. See Security & Privacy section of the help page at http://www.smugmug.com/help/picture-storage.

    If you have a pro-level account you might want to consider using a watermark as well - http://www.smugmug.com/help/custom-watermark-protection.
