Which image host do you use?

troypiggo · 10th of August 2010 (Tue)

There's plenty of threads about this, but haven't come across a poll.
Please choose which image host you use currently. If it's not listed, but select "other" and post which one it is.

I have a flash gallery and my pictures hosted on a web server that I rent for €20/year.
For that price, I have 10GB of storage space.

I found no image host that satisfied me completely, so I went my own way.

I'm with Zenfolio. I did not like FlickR, PhotoBucket, or ImageShack, and Zenfolio was the next alternative I tried, and I loved it. I'm not saying any of those services aren't good, they just weren't for me.

I use Smugmug and recently added Flickr, so didn't vote.

jjaenagle · 10th of August 2010 (Tue)

smugmug for over 2 years

gherrry · 10th of August 2010 (Tue)

I use smugmug now. . . i'm still trying to "skin" it.

Hikin Mike · 10th of August 2010 (Tue)

Other. I have my own website, so I upload my photos there. I do have a Smugmug account, but I only use it for my daughter's Gymnastic team photos (password protected).

Zen here...

Zen here too

ebann · 10th of August 2010 (Tue)

was Phanfare... now Zenfolio. I use Picasaweb for my blog stuff.

I do smugmug, but eventually I'll probably have a zen to put a portfolio only site.
One where its samples of my work and contact info rather than one for football moms to buy pics of their kids.

xMClass · 10th of August 2010 (Tue)

Flickr & I'm very happy with it.

sandpiper · 10th of August 2010 (Tue)

Hmmm, can only pick one for the poll.

OK, I went with PBase for that, as that is where I host my galleries for people to view directly. I also have a photobucket account though, which is used for hosting images that I want to embed in forums etc.

Pennington · 10th of August 2010 (Tue)

I bought hosting for my website and just use that - I've got unlimited space, but using web-res images barely uses much at all. Since full web hosting is so cheap these days, it made more sense to do that, as opposed to any sort of paid image-hosting site.

Interesting results so far, IMO. Pretty even spread. I was expecting a clear winner, though not sure which one.
