The service I saw mentioned several places as the best image host these days is Minus, which has a 10GB storage limit and no bandwidth limits, and does offer all the convenience features of other image hosts. One of my main objections to using Dropbox for image hosting is I use Dropbox for a lot of other things, including all my personal photos and documents, and I'd rather keep web images compartmentalized in a more disposable account. |

Thanks guys but Minus presents me with the same problem that Photobucket and Imgur did, I'm unable to create an account with my PC and when it comes to smartphones I'm kind of a Luddite in that particular area. I don't own one and don't want to own one. My cell phone has no data connection and no texting. It's a phone with a slide-out hardware keyboard (even though I don't text with it).
