The best photo hosting site?

[swimma253]

I use photobucket, in my opinion its the best. I have gone over the storage limit many times. I think Im up to 4 accounts now. The only thing I dislike about it is it takes FOREVER to load my ppics, because they are so big!

I use PhotoBucket also & have not had any problems with them.. Their yearly fee is very affordable..

also received that upgrade-warning.
What will happen when I don't pay??
Will I loose all pics

Did you see this posted above? >>>

Fair WARNING to current ImageStation Users!!

If you have photos "stored" on ImageStation ...
You should visit and READ the current "User Agreement" and
be sure you UNDERSTAND the "Upgrade Policy" as it relates
to the new "Membership FEES" ...
They really Want you to PAY a minimal Yearly Fee to store photos ...

You can read it either way if they will or won't Delete your
stored photos if you Don't Pay up ...
I decided NOT to take a chance and "paid" for the Gold Level. ($20 / year)

The "minimum" membership is only $5.00 a year -
good Insurance that your stored photos won't vanish!

This seems to happen with all the storage sites we've been using over the past few years, and to be honest, I can't blame them that they want a little for their service.

Some people are uploading pictures like there's no tomorrow, and not even resizing them. I think it's a lack of respect and will ruin it for everybody in the long run. Upload the best ones, the ones you want to post, and keep a copy on your harddisc.

I just paid 5$ for my Silver membership at Imagestation. I think it is worth that much- regarding the fact that they will never make much sales out of me living in a different continent.

I think the "best" way to go is get your own server and use it through an FTP program.

I agree. That's what I do.

I like photobucket and I have 4 accounts there as of now but it takes me forever to get my pics uploaded, like Carly because they are so big and I resize them.

Find a hosting company and get a domain and space from them. I pay $7 a year for my domain oh-my-dog.net and about 5 bucks a month for LOTS of space. I think I get 30 gigs of bandwidth (lots and lots of sharing with others) and 2 gigs of space. I'm currently with Magicomm.net on a custom plan but they have a $1 plan that I used for a while too. I think you get 200mbs on that plan.

Having struggled with Imagestation I am now a convert to Photobucket! So much easier..........

I either use photobucket or I upload my pictures to Justin's server. It depends on what kind of mood I'm in.
