ASAP - Which place is best to host my pics?

[Richdog]

Hi guys, i'm asking this question here as it's directly relevent and I have some pics I want to share so just wondering... are there any great sites for hosting photos with a large capacity? I don't mind paying a small amount a year,. I just want a stable base for sharing my pics and somewhere that's easy to sue and create different sections/categories for my pics. :)

No personal experience, but you said ASAP, so :) ... A lot of people here seem to use PBase (http://www.pbase.com) or smugmug (http://www.smugmug.com) to host their galleries .. iirc, both are somewhere in the range of 20 to 30 dollars a month.

For a free gallery that has a file size limit, try Photobucket (http://photobucket.com/)

I use this for simple posting in forums.

Smugmug (http://www.smugmug.com/) is my main gallery though, you can upload up to 100mb in a folder in one hit.

The basic package costs $30 a year and you can save $5 by entering this code if you take one up.

They do a referral scheme, where the person with the code gets a discount for the next year's gallery.

Ahh cheers guys much appreciated!

That smugmug one looks great and i'm going to pay for that at the weekend, but till then Photobucket will do fine. :D

My personal vote would have to go for Imageevent.com

I have used it for a while and I like it quite a bit better than Smugmug. Thats just my personal opinion of course. It costs $25 per year with a picture capacity of 1500 photos. You can pay a one time fee of $25 and get the limit increased to 3000 however, which means the second year would cost $25 and you would still have the 3000 picture limit. Check it out, I like it quite a bit.

Hmm cheers mate i'll check that out.

Queestion though: i've uploaded some photos to photobucket, is there any way of making the galleries publicly viewable to you guys?

EDIT - OK ive clicked the "make public" option, still having trouble seeing how to show them...

I kinda like Pbase as it seems to provide more of the EXIF info on photos and doesn't degrade the image quality.

I have my own website and if I wanted I could put a shopping basket so that I could sell my photos but really, I'm not that bothered right now.

Hi,

I found a great website at http://www.greatestjournal.com.
It provides free image hosting and I think its unlimited storage too :)
