What site do you use to host your photos?

[Kel Varnsen]

I've always used Yahoo! Photos because it was easy to use, had unlimited storage and was easy for people to view. Now that Yahoo! is getting rid of Yahoo! Photos, I need to decide where to move my pictures.

Options given by Yahoo! are Flickr, Kodak, Shutterfly and Snapfish. I am looking for advice because I have to decide by the end of the summer. I'm also considering sites that aren't listed. Even Google's Picasa limits the number of pictures you can upload, which is a little surprising.

I want a site that has unlimited uploads, shows the pictures at a decent size and is easy to use for people who want to see my pictures.

Who is your Internet provider?

Every provider I have ever had gives each user a fairly large amount of hosting space. My package with Verizon comes with 10Gigs of storage at no extra charge, it is included with my $39 monthly charge... My sister in law has cox and she has a fairly good amount of storage as well... My Sister has Charter and they give 1 gig...

I have Cox, too, but I don't think I get that much storage space. Is your sister in law in Arizona?

I do have a sister in law in AZ... But the one I was referring to is not...

I think your 10 Gig beats my 70 Meg. Wanna rent out some space?

(LOL...Cox can't even spell "gigabytes".) Yeesh.

Yeah that does kind of suck...

For about $8 a month I think you can get 100 meg for a Yahoo! website. I'm paying $11 and I'm not even sure why, but I have FTP access just like any other site. I know you can use their web tools if that's what you want.

$8 a month is a lot for only 100megs. For $6 a month he can get a whole lot more by just getting a webspace. You'd even get your own domain name.

I use photobucket. I haven't had any problems with it.

 

[CardFan67]

I don't know how photobucket works but on the warcraft sites I go to I often get "User bandwith exceeded" errors on Photobucket linked photos.

I spent about $50 for a year of a hosted site from GoDaddy. I get 5GB at least. I don't honestly know, as I never came close to using that much space.

The first site I used a few years ago was webshots, but I stopped using it because of its limitations. I finally revisited the site yesterday and it is much better than it used to be. I may go back there.
