NEED a website that hosts images

Right now I'm using photobucket, and they have been randomly deleting graphics that I use on my website & on top of that a lot of other people use too. So when they do that it makes me & my website look bad by the graphic or whatever they used not showing up OR showing a terms of use thing... since I guess randomly their all of a sudden making SURE that things don't have profanity in them. Just I'm tired of that, and how slow the site goes. I either need an image hosting site that's like photobucket, but allows profanity & won't randomly delete page(s) of graphics for no reason.. I even have a pro account & to me that's BS their going to do that when I paid money to have an account there. The other things I need from an image hosting website (or free image hosting script) is you can upload from the website, and ftp. Private albums, but the images from the private albums will still show up on my website. Unlimited (or a lot) of bandwidth, and I'm willing to pay to use a GOOD image hosting site... Please send any that you know of & I'll check them out.

 

theres a lot out there. try flicker,photobucket and imageshack.

 

like i said I'm using photobucket right now. I want a different one.
Flickr is more photo sharing not hosting so that's not what I'm looking for.
I'm not sure about imageshack.. i don't think it fits what i want
like being able to upload things by ftp & fully private/secure albums.
also not sure if they allow you to have profanity in graphics.

 

what is your budget?

 

i'd be willing to pay a good amount, but ONLY if it has all the features i need.

 

What about using Picasa? I personally use Smugmug & pay about $29 a year for pretty much unlimited bandwidth.

 

I've seen smugmug before & recently started the trial,
but the only things i don't get are first can you upload
from ftp if you upgrade your account?
& when i tried making a few albums it wouldn't
let me make it like: username/category/subcategory/subcategory/image-here/
so pretty much i THINK it only lets you make 1 subcategory?
besides those 2 things & that i'd have to really get used to it
i liked it & depending if i can do both the things i said i might use it.

 

Never used FTP, unfortunately

 

i guess u can buy hosting some where and look for a opensource script..mod it the way u want ?

 

why don't you host the images where you host your website?
it sounds like the easiest solution....

 

i would never do that. last time i did that
someone sent a ddos attack on my site
so if i do that i'd get a new website for
hosting images only & use that.. i might
just do that, but what is the best script?
i would prefer a free one, but doesn't matter.
i looked online, but i want to know from people
who have actaully used them before.

 

Why do you need a Script to Embedd Photos to your site?

As, you said, You are using Some of the image hosts, you are embedding their URLS, Do the same, Upload to a new host, and embedd the Pic! You can Get the URls Manually from the name of the pic,

Or, You can Use some Simply PHP code to upload and simply show the URL!

And About The DDos, You will get Ddos, no Matter if the images are embedded from another site, or hosted yourself!

~ExP~

 

yeah, you will get ddos attacks, it is not a matter of images. Just block the attacking ips, put up a good firewall (or talk about it with your host). I think most times it is better to upload the images to the server where your site is, it is easier to backup.
If you still want a service, you should just buy an another hosting account somewhere, and upload your images there (but you should ask the hoster before, cause not all of them allows image hosting, still, most vps-s are allowing it).
I don't really know about premium image hosters, but most of the free ones deleting abusive images (which are using lot bandwidth), and sometimes they delete them randomly, so they are not really reliable.

 

mainly i use tinypic. its good and work fast

 

helllo,
Instead of hosting the picture on some other website .why don't you get a cms made for your website which will allow you to upload and remove pictures and also make albums out of them..

If you are ready to pay i can make one for you at a reasonable rate

 

http://www.imagehosting.com/ if your photos size less then 1.5 MB

 

Photobucket.com is best one !!

 

If you want a paid script with all features then try AIHS by yabsoft

You can also try free image scripts like mihalism, chevereto, scripteen
Also there was a one without using mysql ... i forgot its name... all these are free...

 

imageshack.us

 

Tinypic and Imageshack are the best ones, IMO.
