I just signed up for photobucket so I could stop hotlinking images but I find it's really slow. Are there any better image hosting sites or is photobucket the end all be all of internet photo hosting. I've never really liked photobucket to be honest as whenever I do a google image search and it's from photobucket half the time the picture won't load.

Do any of you use flickr? I have heard good things about the site for photo sharing but do you think it could be used for reliable image hosting? At first glance it seems alright although I wish I could upload images using a URL instead of directly from my computer. There's a firefox add-on that lets you just right click images and add them to your flickr but alas I am a chrome user, I switched a few months ago after my firefox started getting really slow and crashing all the time (I haven't had any problems with chrome) I wish there was a chrome extension that would aid in my web to flickr needs.

Can I organize all my images into different folder/albums on imageshack? I hate going through hundreds of pictures to find the one you want.

Edit: Also I posted two images from my photobucket on my first post in this thread, is it just me or does it take eons for them to load. (The two pictures were the photobucket and flickr logo)

Sure if you make account, I gather

I have account there but I never use it so can't say for sure but at least I'd figure that is the case

photobucket or imageshack for building a collection of images to reuse, tinypic for post-and-forget

I use Flickr because I just started getting in to photography but don't have many great photos (just two or three ones that I like)
I plan on uploading more but I haven't taken enough photos because it's been cold. I haven't really used any other sites but it doesn't seem so bad.

^ Lucky, but I don't have constant internet to my location (the boondocks with only dial up) so this is impossible, although I've looked into it.

I use Photobucket. Easy to use, site's nice, and there's an app on my phone that helps me to cut out the middle man.

Imageshack is also good for that if you can't be stuffed making a account.

I would have to agree with Imgur if you don't have your own server like I do. (And you don't have to deal with hotlinkers all over the Internet like I do, either).

Imgur's about the only acceptable host over at Reddit, which should tell you something.

I've got an account with Photobuket, but I almost never use it.

Photobucket, as always, but Picasa and Flickr are also good for hi-res stuff.

Imageshack is becoming quite a bitch, as I'm seeing 'unrecognized host' (whatever) messages, asking me to register.

photobucket works for pretty much everything I normally need. For anything professional I don't host it anywhere but rather send it direct to client through yousendit express.
