Since Photobucket isn't available anymore w/out paying huge money, does anyone else have an alternative or any ideas on how to post pics on here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
probably not what your looking for - but I host all my own photos from my home with a normal Spectrum internet connection (100 down 5 up).
Windows Home Server (WHS) 2011 / Microsoft have a neat little tool built into WHS that allows domain name registration for free (with a hotmail / windows account).
That - along with Internet Information Services (IIS) (also comes with Windows Home Server) allows me to set up a folder on a normal desktop type computer with all my photos and host them with a domain name.
The domain IP Address is dynamic as well - WHS will examine my WAN IP address and update the domain name periodically and automatically.
It does take some knowledge to set this all up - but there are plenty of resources on the net to help with this.
I take Pics with my cell phone - mail them to myself - download them to my public_pictures folder and re-size them to 1024x768. That results in ~ 300kb pictures - which my computer has no problem in delivering up to the net.
