Ya but if your dad wants to put up his pictures you go tell him to buy a nice scalable hosting product instead of a cheap shared hosting account for $5 to $10 a month?
No. I'd tell him to get a Facebook/Picasa/Flickr/Twitpic account.
Dad used to get a shared hosting account for things like that, but now we have services that host content for free. They are much easier for Dad to use as well.
In this age of $20/mo VPSs and free content hosting, I'm honestly not sure how shared hosting survives. It's not as flexible as a VPS for hosting sites (and with more than two sites, isn't even as cheap), and it's not as easy to use (or as free) as Facebook.
