Free Image Hosting, WITH HOTLINKING

[Joe C.]

All:

Well, with my hamster brain, it took me long enough to find two excellent sites, that I do not hesitate to recommend:

www.ImgSpot.com

and

www.PhotoBucket.com

The first, has no login, and offers no photo album. This means that you cannot see your photos after you submit them, UNLESS, you record the URL, so that you can copy it into your browser (or favorites list), to get back to it.

The second requires a login (no big deal), but sets you up with a photo album, which opens up after login.

Both sites support jpg/jpeg, gif, png formats. Bucket also accepts bmp format.
Both sites have very large max capacity.

I cannot say how long that they will remain in service, that's up to you to estimate. Why not use 'em both. After all, the price is right.

There's a risk of losing your on-line images (not a problem if you have them saved/archived at home) with the few "free" sites that remain; can't remember the name of the BIG one two years ago ("Photo-something"), but it shut down one night without warning and the owners then offered their thousands of customers return of their stored images on CD for $50-$100 a couple of months later, take it or leave it.

I have used PICTURECD.com for about a year now. Its free. They upgraded their system a few weeks ago and my photos were temporarily unavailable during that time but all is well now. I've got many pictures on the site..... I really don't know the max capacity.
