My photo printer has died due to lack of use. Buying another would be dumb - the same thing would happen.
Are any of the online print houses any good? Which would you recommend?

To not answer your question at all, why not rock into one of those photoshops in the mall where you plug your memory card in and print of whatever you want?
Otherwise first port of call might be vistaprint?

Coz my local shop charges $10 for an 8x10...Frogprint are half that price.
Small prints are cheap as - I use the local for those. But I do get some larger versions at times.

Depends on how much you like pictures of frogs I guess, but if you also enjoy broken aquatics, I hear snapfish are very good (do nice calendars and canvas prints etc (pays to wait for a special though)).

Stationary warehouse are pretty reasonable. Very cheap compared to the malls. Same machines and pricing as the kiosks in the warehouse but better maintained.
Air print is available if you want to print directly from your own PC or mobile.
Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.

You get what you pay for. If your not worried how long it will last by all means use one of the cheap services.
But if its something special its worth going to proper camera shop (a good one will have a Canon with 12ink Lucia system) and getting it printed on decent paper.
I can get you A4 (roughly 8x12inch) $20 plus postage/packing or A3+ 13x19inch $35 plus post n packing on a selection of decent fine art papers that are rated for over 100 years lifespan.
Tend not to print something unless its very worthy or someone needs it as part of package.
Then you want to be mounting it in a decent frame too...
