anybody know of any free unlimited site hosting? It’s just for art images… I was on a site that when I joined it had unlimited bandwidth but obviously doesn’t anymore.

Depending on what you’re doing with the images, [http://www.imageshack.us](http://www.imageshack.us) may be of some use.

what kind of a site doesn’t let you delete an image after you upload it?

think I found one tonite… freehost.se. It has unlimited bandwidth and 1mb max file size with 100mb disk space. I was having a hard time because some of the art jpegs are around 500kb. As for ads there’s a top banner but I guess it’ll get put there later because there wasn’t one auto generated.

on second thought… shit host… the site’s down. Looked on the net for other freehost.se pages and they’re down too. Bad luck after uploading all my files but I don’t want any downtime. The ftp prog shows the files are still there. And the freehost.se main page works but member pages aren’t. Are there any other free sites like this that don’t have pop ups… banners ok.

well they got back to me with what was wrong… heh… I guess I’ll use them and see how it goes:

"\> site is down. (…)

We have just shot Administrator. We think, that new one won’t make such  
mistakes like crushing whole host for fun."

Looks like that’s the way they make their money; get you to sign up for free, then pay a subsciption when you want to manage your uploaded content. Can’t blame 'em really.

Not free, but close…[Dreamhost](http://www.dreamhost.com/). Apparently you need to enter 777 as the promo code when you sign up for [Level 1, 1 year pre-paid](http://www.dreamhost.com/shared/comparison.html).

I stumbled across the [Discussion](http://forums.redflagdeals.com/showthread.php?t=127399) and am passing it on. I have no knowledge of the provider beyond this link…
