I am trying to find a gallery hosting site that is partnered with Photobox.
U don't know anything about Photobox, but have you contacted them directly? They're probably the best source to know who they've partnered with.

I post my own art on my own separate photography page, but they want me to use thei logo and preset on those pictures as well
Putting their logo on your images can create a major pain later if there is a dispute. The logo implies that it's their photo and could be an issue later if they claim ownership over them, especially as the contract is verbal.
They pay very well, and i can’t really find other sources of similar income as a student where i live
Keep looking. The current situation doesn't seem ideal.
I did TFP with a model and found out that they tagged UO who used my photo.
is this ethical?
A lot depends on the TFP agreement. Maybe you signed certain license rights.
Generally, UO would be responsible for getting use consent from the copyright holder, which is usually the photographer, but your TFP agreement could change who has rights, etc.
Can registering copyright stop them from using my photo?
Assuming that you're in the USA, copyright registration can give additional recovery options, but it's not required.
how do I proceed with this?
I'd start by reviewing the agreement you had with the model, which should hopefully be in writing. Then reach out to the model. Only after that would I consider reaching out to UO.
I'm guessing that you've had positive experiences with them in the past, but I probably wouldn't feel comfortable making a website completely around s business that has no customer service and no means of direct contact. That could mean major problems if there's ever an issue where your customer's money is on the line.
