Image Hosting

[Willy Nilly]

Which website do you use for image hosting?

I have used Photobucket which has really annoying adverts which I've put up with because it's free, but now if anyone actually looks at you pictures they want to charge. I'm not doing adverts and charges. So any suggestions?

As I bang on about all the time (sorry), buy your own domain and space, then you can do what you want, not what they tell you. It's not expensive.

how do I go about doing that then and what do I actually need?

[GetCarter]

There are many, so I'm not promoting!

If you go to someone like www.easily.co.uk you can buy your own domian name , webspace and e mail address ... for life.

What GetCarter says.


Plenty of Webspace providers out there along with domain registrants.

Personally I use Godaddy but there are plenty of others out there.

I use Smugmug which suits my needs. Easily customizable layouts and you can use your own domain, Nice support teams too.
The do a free trial which might be worth you checking out.

Flickr works for me (just)

I have my own domain and hosting, but prefer to use hosted services for image hosting as they take the hassle out of displaying and resizing the images etc.

For paid work/portfolio I use Photoshelter and for personal stuff I use Flickr, it gets a bit of criticism, but it's still pretty good.
