Is there a catch to this? I have always believed the phrase "Nothing in life is free." I would like to look into this but the site doesn't say much.

The catch is in the TOS

All accounts are setup on a pre-pay basis. Host reserves the right to change prices at any time and prices are guaranteed for the term of pre-payment.

I suspect the TOS is a cut paste form from someother service.
There's been no charge or ask for money and I've been parking pix there for a month or so... Its free.

Carzee, Tommy is correct. I went back and clicked on "Terms & Disclaimer" at the bottom of the page and did find what Tommy posted. It is under "Pricing Policies." Maybe it has a one month free trial.

or, maybe its free? After all, it says its free. I signed up, and you don't need to give any credit card details, so there's no way they could start charging you.

After a month when you can no longer access your images... theres ways trust me.

Of course they can make You pay if You want to continue to use the service. The part I quoted states that they can change the price any time (from free to whatever they choose). Another paragraph states that if You don't pay within a certain time Your account will be suspended.

Maybe. Just don't start giving advice about how to do that here.


Don't take this the wrong way. The service is probably great now. I just wanted to point out that they in their TOS have indicated that they might start charging in the future. (I don't think it is an error with copy/paste but if it is that signals an unproffesional service).

[Art Rodriguez]

I understand what you guys are saying about not paying. But I have to agree with Tommy. Why else would there be a Pricing Policy on their User Agreement? It could be free now, but from what I read, they can start charging anytime they like.
