Which photo hosting services have you tried? Which one is your favorite? Why?

I use photo bucket. It's easy to use.
I even pay the 2.99 a month service fee.
I would use all the free "bandwidth" and a time my pics would say image not available. This was only because I belong to other forums and from what I understand everytime a pic is viewed it chips away of the free "bandwidth"

I like Google - Picasa,  BUT I am strictly speaking of the photo hosting service, NOT the software.

And you do NOT have to have a Google Plus account either.


I like the way it lets me organize photos and being able to resize a photo on the fly right in the IMG code (a nifty little trick that works only with Picasa).

I am a happy Photobucket user and have used their service since 1998. I do pay for their service and store several thousand pictures there including my forum, webpage, and cooking, smoking and grilling pictures. My pictures are posted on as many as 40 sites and are always available as this site is never down as far as the pictures being available to the sites. I find the PB site fairly easy to use and I keep it setup to where all the pictures that I load are automatically being sized for the sites that they may be used on.

It can be difficult to find a photo on a storage site and with PB, I can use many different albums to make this task much easier. All my cooking pictures are stored by the brand or type of cooker, grill, smoker, etc..

Pictures can be shared around the web by five different methods and it is easy with PB to not only just pick out the picture but to also select the method that each site may want for showing the picture.

I am vey satisfied with the service I have and would recommend it to anyone.

I am also a paid Photobucket user.  I have several thousand photos on that site and like Old Dave says it is fairly easy to use. I have my
photos organized by category which helps me locate them quickly.  One thing I also like about Photobucket is that if you name your album something
that you already have Photobucket will let you know so you can change the name or add it to the same album.  One thing I don't use is the resizing on
Photobucket as I resize all my photos in Lightroom or Picasa prior to uploading them. That makes for a faster upload.
