I like tinypic, mainly beacuse you can easyly get a link that takes
people directly to the image and nothing but the image.

No 200 kilo bytes of javascript to enable a bit of eye candy or some
silly animated "slideshow" that doesn't work unless you have the
latest browser version and sixteen required plugins, no ads from
servers that take 2 weeks to respond then send a few more hundred
kilo bytes of irritating animated flash advert...

I rented my own virtual server.

200 a year or something, and enough space, no adverts and HUGE speed.

To people who know too much, it is a sad fact
that they know how little is really possible -
and how hard it is to achieve it.

Or even Dropbox.

But from the suggestions you can try most of them free and
see what you like, then decide if you're going to stay with
one (poosibly paying for a bit more storage space)

I quite like Picasa/Google+. I don't find it the easiest to navigate
through but it's very impressive when I do get it to work. More of a
Facebook alternative than a photo host.

Aye, fine if you have the latest whiz bang super computer but
anything bit more ordinary or older and you lock out people. Browsers
can render many image formats natively you don't need anything other
than a URL that points to the image file.

We both know it's nothing about rendering images, it's about serving ads
and tracking behaviour, they've got to fund the 'free' sites somehow.

Actually mine is a Dell Dimension that was being thrown out by a
corporate customer as part of an upgrade, along with a hundred or so
others. EBay was awash with them for a while
