Since you mentioned hosting, I have to do a little self-promotion:
For photographers looking to do a professional website on the cheap, my company has a hosting service with plans starting at $5.99/mo. The service for the price is about the same as bigger hosts but we provide more personal attention to clients and since it’s a growing company, the offerings will expand over time. An example would be how we now offer WHOIS privacy completely free. Our order page is at http://members.jsitconsulting.net

I’m from Canada, and my accountant said I can do this for EVERY time my vehicle is used for ANYTHING (travelling to a location, scouting new locations, picking up supplies).  Not sure how it applies in the rest of the world, however.

Happy tax season, all!
