Image hosting
-
I can’t use up all the 50 MB in wordpress I get. Is there a good hosting service out there. Box hosting is too much of a hassle to use.

You can try Flickr or Photobucket. STAY AWAY from imageshack.us. Their pictures disappear fast. I don’t use the hosting here at WordPress because I would probably use the whole thing up in a month. But I use imagevenue.com.

Hey u might wanna try Zooomr. They give a pro account free for a year for bloggers – yeah it works :) . Of course it is not a pure Photo hosting site (there is not FTP upload), but a photo sharing site too , like flickr.

he or she may mean something besides box.net though. :)

@ nosy: I’ve been using imageshack.us for all images I use in forums and for most of the ones used in my blog for quite a long time. What do you mean by their pictures disappear fast?
What other free hosting sites can you guys advise?
-
i love box.net to death, but you can’t hotlink images there, can you?
you can host images off your home computer via http://www.orb.com. the images are cached and stamped by orb, but it works.

When I used them on my old blog, they disappeared after a while and had the frog logo. The biggest pain in the ass for me has always been hosting images. Most image uploading places lose the pictures quickly and I’ve used alot of them out there.
-
Yeah, I’ve not had the frog and I’ve used imageshack for about 1 year now. All my images from back then are still there.
I’m just surprised as I only heard good things about it.

As of November 1st, upstart photo sharing site Zooomr has increased its monthly photo upload limits for free and pro accounts. Free account holders will be allowed 100 MB of photo uploads per month and pro accounts 4 GB per month. The company emphasizes that this means Zooomr is offering 5 times as much upload for free accounts as Flickr does and is doubling Flickr’s pro account size. Pro accounts at Zooomr have been free for bloggers since July. This is from the techcrunch review.

Just checked Zoomr and wished they had batch uploading. And why does Photobucket after posting the codes have all their images in a single row and no matter what I do with changing the tags to have two or three side by side, they never come out that way but always one image per row?
-
No idea; my caveat with Photobucket is that they deleted a whole whack of images from my account without informing me, and I firmly believe that some of them were perfectly fine under their TOS. When I asked them to specify why they had deleted the images (ie more than just saying “TOS violations”, I wanted to know which terms had been violated) they threatened to delete my whole account. I had been using them for four years with no problem, but some of the images they deleted included original art I had the right to post, etc. I don’t recommend them for this reason.

some other good ones Large image host and photograph hosting they both offer uncapped image viewing.
