I use [photobucket.](http://photobucket.com/) It was recommended here and I have never looked for another website. It is easy and secure to use. SSG Schwartz ---

I also use photobucket - easy as pie. Joe ---

I like Photobucket and [Imageshack.us](http://Imageshack.us), though both have their issues. Photobucket, if the image is large, has a tendency to resize it without asking permission or giving warning. Imageshack no longer plays nice with Firefox, though, with a little work, the images can be made to show. (I’m not sure if FF or IS is the party which fucked up, but it happened when Imageshack changed their layout, so I’m inclined to blame them.) [Imgboot](http://imgboot.com/) was good last time I used it, but I’ve not done so in a while. I use PB more often - for things I’ll want to go back to, linked to on sites other than LiveJournal - Imageshack when I just want to show a random image once. ---

I like Photobucket as I find it more dial-up friendly. Others prefer different sites as terms, features, size and bandwidth limits differ. ETA:[Recent thread.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=499644&highlight=photobucket) ---

I use Flickr, which has been wonderful. The first 200 images are free - above that you have to purchase a Pro account (which is only $25 a year). ---

You could use the storage space allotted to you by your own ISP… since you pay them monies anyway. Comcast gives me 7 gigs. It is not as easy as Flicker or Photobucket, etc ---

I use Flickr or [Picasa](http://picasa.google.com/). Picasa’s the easiest for me - I use the program for organising my photos on my computer anyway, so it’s a simple step to upload directly from the program. ---

[Shutterfly.com](http://Shutterfly.com) has been very useful to me. It’s more bells and whistles than some of the others, which is nice for those of us who are dum. –Cliffy ---
