Up until now I've used my domain holding page with my ISP to host any photos
that I wanted to 'share' online (uploaded using a rather clunky FTP programme).

Last week, my ISP (Zen) withdrew without notice, access to holding pages citing security reasons.

I don't want a Gallery and I don't want Cloud Storage, I just want the ability to occasionally share a few images.

Any recommendations please?

Flickr.

It's what nearly everybody on this sub-forum uses.

You don't need a holding page to store photos - are you getting your terminology mixed up?

A holding page is what you get when you go to http://yourdomain.biz and it says "website under construction" (or whatever).

Your photos though are accessed using something more like http://yourdomain.biz/photo_of_my_cat.jpg

So if all Zen have done is kill your holding page, your photos should remain in place and continue to be accessible.

Yes, I was using web space to store those photos and they are still there, but I can't work out how to now see (and copy) all the components of their URLs as I no longer have access to the subdomain of the website where I used to be able to see each folder and the name of each image file.

ETA Here's and example of one of my URLs:

Which takes you to an image.



Who do you want to share them with, and how do you want to share them?

Exactly, or I could have posted it using: [pic]http://www.zen69725.zen.co.uk/Fezza%20red%203_files/image001.jpg[/sic].

I just happen to have found that Ferrari image of mine on the 'net and copied and pasted its properties above,
but my problem is that I don't now have any easy access to all the other URLs of my images.

I use Pixieset.

https://pixieset.com

I find it incredibly easy to use and it's specifically designed for sharing photos with others. It allows them to be browsed and downloaded very easily.

It's free up to 3GB/1000 photos, and then extremely reasonable if you want more space.

Can't you get the file names from the FTP programme you upload them with?

Although, really, Flickr is much easier.
