High bandwidth image hosting?

[Jonny69]

Hi chaps

Up until now I've hosted all my images on my own website. Well I ran a tech article in Motors and my 3Gb monthly bandwidth got spanked in 2 weeks with just 3Mb of images. I reduced them to 1Mb in total by resizing from 640x480 to 450x300 but this isn't going to fix my problem long term.

What's a good high bandwidth image hosting service? Free is best as usual but I guess I could pay if I really had to. And what about slow loading images? I notice that anything from imageshack for instance takes literally ages to load up even a 50Kb image

http://www.vidahost.com/ Starter package for £29 per year has 25gb monthly transfer. Would that be enough?

Photobucket?

I use hosting unlimited for my website. They have 4 good packages on offer. Just depends what you want and how much you want to pay. Highly recomended though

Flickr, just make sure you have something linking back to them. Either make the image a hyperlink, or, as I do, just put a link at the bottom of the page.

I use Fotki, usually $50 a year but currently only $30 (£14.65) with unlimited bandwidth and storage

Who I use, never had bandwidth issues

Ditto, been with them a little under 2 years and have had nothing but fantastic service.

So theoretically I could be really cheeky and hotlink my whole website to them

Well, vidahost is webhosting, so you could put your website on it.

Sorry to bump, but my hosting's £4.50 a month for 360GB webspace and 3600GB monthly bandwidth (plus a host of other extras). Give me a shout if you haven't found anywhere yet and want more details

Servage. And you know giving people coupons where you both benefit is against the forum rules.

Having said that I have a few websites hosted on Servage and have no complaints whatsoever, and have never even got close to the limit.

Just emergencyly tried dropfiles.net which will relieve the problem. They are ok for 5Gb for free but the upload process is a bit round the houses style.

Damn dropfiles.net keeps going down

Still I guess you get what you pay for

It's posts like this reminds me how lucky I am to have an unlimited bandwidth quota for my site; to the point I don't actually know how much I use!

Exactly, right. It's not just a question of getting enough bandwidth but also a host that can deliver the goods.

125GB/month with TSOhost - I have their top end service @ £5/month and it's much better than what I had before with Getpro. The CpanelX usage stats are very good too.

I signed up to http://www.tsohost.co.uk/ a couple of weeks ago, they are brilliant!

Was with Dreamhost for about 3 days before getting fed-up with the slow transfer rates (got my money back so i'm happy).
