free photo hosting services are going bye bye

[Warthog]

I just recieved an email from Photopoint.com. Starting July 3 they will be charging for remote hosting services. As in, if I want to post a pic here that is hosted at Photopoint.com, I cannot w/o paying them $30 month (lol riiiiighhtt).

I used to use some other service that Socalgal recommended to me, but that shut down altogether.

What else is out there?? Anything?

uh-oh, photopoint is just another company that needs to start charing tjust to stay in business, (maybe they aren't happy with the money the sponsors are giving them??)

Doesn't your ISP give you free web space???
with @home I get 6 accounts with 10 megs each..

[Spanky]

Companies need to make money do they not? I don't see anyone can say they are out of line.

How were they making money anyway? They didn't even advertise with the photos u would paste here for other people to see?

I was wondering when they would start charging.

Do you get any free webspace from your ISP? Just use that.

[Warthog]

Yes, but see it's my dad's ISP so that doesn't work http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Thanks NDC!

I think homestead lets you post photos. (they think its for a web site. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif)

Dam, should've looked in the forum first I just submited a story on this on the homepage. I use photopoint as well as I don't know how to set up an FTP with the Space I get with my ISP.
Hey Warthog, if know anything about web-building give me a mail and you can use the space as much as you like for image hosting, I get like 10mb I think.

Actually Angelfire will remote load if you remove the extension on the file.

[Warthog]

This really does suck. I guess now I'll have to use AOL's free space http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif

Thx a great deal NDC, that link was great.

No worries Wart, I've no idea with HTML or building web-sites either, I've had that space for like 3 years now and have no idea how to use it http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

To set up my web space that my ISP allows me I just used an FTP program [wsftp pro] and logged into my ISP with myISP.com and my account name and password. Once connected to your account you need to create a directory named html if one is not there already. You then upload your pictures to this directory. To post the pictures on ebay or a website etc use a similar address to this, http://www.yourisp.com/~youraccount/yourpicture.jpg
You can also make sub-directories under the html directory such as page1, page2 etc. Just add the additional directory into the pictures url. This is how mine works I imagine ohers are similar.
