Photo Hosting
I am currently making a website where users list items and was thinking about allowing them to add photos of the items.
I was thinking about using an image hosting service such as Image Shack but I don't know how reliable it is to do this and not quite sure how it would work (would i have links to Image Shack in my database?) The only alternative i can think of is to host the photos on my own website but am worried this will take up to much of my disk space! I am on shared hosting and have 100MB disk space and 2GB bandwidth. I am very happy with the hosting company I am with so don't want to change but I can't afford to pay for a more expensive package (this is just a side project, not a business) I was thinking about possibly limiting the size of the photos to 10KB or something. Does anyone have any advice or ideas? |

Re: Photo Hosting
How about hosting with http://site5.com/ ? $5 a month for a gazillion times more resources. Image Shack is a bit unreliable, and I think they have a bandwidth limit on their images as well.

Re: Photo Hosting
Are you suggesting hosting my site with them or just the photos?
I'm always a bit suspicious when hosting companies offer so much for so little! Have you used Site 5 yourself? I'm UK based and have a UK based hosting company who are very good so I don't really want to change to a US based one. |

Re: Photo Hosting
Yes, I and another moderator on this forum both use Site5 hosting. It's absolutely wonderful from speed and reliability to customer service and features. It is a US based company, however.

Re: Photo Hosting
Haha, it's the first time I've found a host I actually feel like sharing. Every other experience with hosts has been horrible, although PowWeb wasn't too bad. Just no reseller options.
