Photo hosting

I have used Pbucket for a number of years and they have finally reached a point where they just aren't doing what I need.
I know that MA can host photos, but I do post some on Fine Scale (usually stuff that I have already posted here) and rarely on a few other forums.
Does anyone have a suuggestion as to a good hosting site to use for my photos? I'm ok with using MA's hosting, but as I said I do post elsewhere. None of my photos are very large and while there are several hundred at this point, you have seen how I post and the types of photos.

So any suggestions?
 
I use Flickr (https://www.flickr.com/) as an alternative to Photobucket. Their interface is a little different, so you might want to play around with it a little bit first and see if it's what you are looking for.

I think their limit for free hosting is now based off size, not number. It used to be 200 images.....but I'm sitting at 400 pics now, and I think I have a 1TB capacity if I'm reading it correctly. When I signed up, I did have to create a YahooID for it...but that was 6 some years ago, so I don't know if that has changed since then.
 
If it helps, I also post my pics on four to six other forums and sites and I use the MA Galleries. I've never had any problems with any of my pics not showing anywhere else.

Nor should you have any problem. We do allow hot linking to our website from others. Also to use our hosting services you have to be a member in good standing and Paul, you're surely are in good standing. :good:

Good to know. I've been reluctant to use the stuff I save here elsewhere because I didn't want to do anything to lose the privilege. It's an awesome service that is not widely offered anymore. I really like the way you can lay out the albums. I'd hate to lose it due to my own stupidity. :laugh:
 
Since 2004 I have used Picturetrail for photo hosting and have not had any real problems with them. I also tried photobucket at about nearly the same time I signed up with Picturetail and stuck with Picturetrail...after reading some complaints about photobucket service this turned out to be a lucky move.

I have never heard of Picturetrail. I see they have premium service but i don't see rates, how much do they charge Les?
