Looking for an online site to store and alter my family tree and suggestions?

I have moved to an iPad for my main computer and would like to store and show my tree to others via the web any good sites for this free if possible. Or any software for the iPad. I currently use a macbook pro but when i give work up next year I will have to hand it back to work. This is why I will need web storage or software for the iPad.

Thanks

Totally agree with youngtug.  I've been using tribalpages for 6 years now and can't see past it. 
It'll accept a gedcom at first too if you have one.
There are certain limits to what the free version gives you, such as the number of people (500) and images (50).
However, even the most expensive upgrade is only $40 / £30 per year.

Pricing here..... http://www.tribalpages.com/pricing.html

Another vote for Tribalpages here  :)  I started off with the free version mainly so I could access my tree at any time from anywhere,  but then paid about £15 so I could easily produce decorative family trees.  They've been very popular as presents for anniversaries etc and are well worth the money. 

You can keep the tree private or share with family members as you wish.  I've also made contact with some distant relatives through the site.

You can alter the privacy settings to suit your requirments. It is best to keep living people private.

And do be aware that if you make it free for all to see, people will take info and photos from your tree willy nilly - often without asking and sometimes even if it isn't correct for their trees!   ::)

Had a look at Tribalpages but it seems to be US orientated.  Is there a way of stipulating a country?  I could not find it anywhere.

No I don't think so Ann.  But it's not a problem, I have managed to pay for the lowest membership from my UK bank account without any difficulty.  If I could work out how to do it, it's not complicated  ;)
