where to post pictures - on the cheap

Jan 07, 2009 8 Replies

As so many ISPs have seen fit to discontinue hosting any binary NGs, and I do not want to spend any money for a service which does carry binary groups (which other readers could not see anyway) what are the recommendations of the readers here? Where to post or upload pictures that would be readily accessible to any web browser? I am sometimes tightfisted with a quarter, and so do not want to subscribe to some service which will charge me a fee for putting up pictures. My stuff is not so great that it deserves worldwide attention, but it is *my stuff* and sometimes it might be of interest to another woodworker. tom koehler


I believe Frontier provides space to allow their customers to set up a web page. Create a web site and upload your pictures to your site. You can then post a link to the pictures here.

I use Microsoft Live Skydrive 50 GB for free Can't beat that.

I use picassa myself.

Yep. I got on flickr but I think they are pretty similar.

Google "free image hosting" and you will get a lot of hits.

I know the guys on the barbecue site I used to frequent LOVE imageshack.com.

Photobucket. It's free. Link:

To all of you who have replied to my query, thank you for your time and your replies. I do have a tiny website connected with my Frontier internet account, but that is set up to show off my little home-made teardrop trailer. I have a limited amount of space there, and will reserve it for that project.

I decided to go with the flickr setup. It is free, as are the others suggested to me. I never realized there was such a thing! I guess the advertising pays the freight. hum.

Thanks again, to all of you. I will post the address under a separate posting here.

I have come across another free site that does a really nice job as far as posting pictures. It is called drop.io. Just enter

Then follow the simple instructions to upload pictures.
