Free safe photo hosting?

[mrcpickering]

Whats the best way to upload hi quality photos to the internet for show? Some sites I've used compress the photo and make it look awful. I also don't like using hosting sites that claim ownership of the photo copyright etc once you upload it to them.

Any suggestions?

If you want that, I would recommend using your own hosting... depending on how much space you want, you can get 1GB-"Unlimited" for 2-9 pounds per month & then you have your own compression at the ready.

www.flickr.com is one of the better ones, however

500px is pretty good.

I'd definitely recommend your own hosting. £29 a year with Vidahost for 2GB and a free domain.

ok that seems fair enough deal, thanks for the advise

Free or safe choose one.

Tsohost are one of the best hosting companies and are based in the UK, they charge £15 per year.

I would recommend avoiding any kind of companies offering "unlimited" packages, aside from being technically impossible you'll find your service cut off if you do use a lot of bandwidth.

Tsohost are one of the best

cheers for that I will give them a look in!

I always thought Imgur were pretty good, but it hasn't been mentioned at all. Does anyone have the info on their compression?
