Which image hosting website do you prefer to use?[ 23 votes ]
1. Image Shack 10 / 43%
2. Photobucket 7 / 30%
3. Tinypic 6 / 26%

Much like the last thread, if you have a preference not in the poll, post it in the thread and I will add it.

Now, there are many image hosting websites out on the web. Some charge money, some don't. Some provide more features, others take long to load.

Which website is your favorite and why?

Photobucket is the best.

I absolutely hate Image Shack... and I do not understand why people insist on using it. It takes FOREVER to load the smallest image.

When you link someone an image on image shack, they don't just get the image, they get a link to an ad infested page that loads the image last... making the viewer have to sit there for a while looking at the ads.

Actually, Tinypic has the same problem, except it isn't as bad as image shack.

Photobucket has an excellent free service. It allows for an extremely large array of hosting space for free. I can customize my galleries with backgrounds and borders. It has a web-based image editor that isn't that bad. And I don't know who said otherwise, but Photobucket has never deleted any of the images I've put on their site in the 4 years I've had a free account. It even allows video uploads.

Another cool feature of photobucket is that it allows you to track were your images are being shown. It gives a graph depicting the websites your images are shown at and how many people view them.

The way I see it... if you're going to upload something to a specific place, why not have an account that keeps track of it all for you and allows you to view your archived images? It's free and worth it.

Almost every time I get a link to an image that someone sends from image shack, it directs me back to their website.

I upload pictures to my gallery which is using Single File PHP Gallery(SFPG), which is here btw Wink

XXLIMG for when I need to upload a quickie(not very often).

If for some reason I don't want to or can't upload to my site then I'll just use Photobucket.
