inevitable

Phtobucket isn't good for large, bandwidth intensive pictures but for a large collection of small pictures photobucket is the best. Otherwise imageshack by far surpasses any other free image hosting service mainly due to its speed and reliability. I once even recovered a 1 year old picture from them.

ive been using PhotoBucket, only for a short time.
The main thing is the upload limit, its TOO small!
Another thing i figured out is that their server speeds are TOO SLOW!

Just get a free host and upload your photos there (also, some come with FTP, it makes it easier)

First of all, how is Photobucket better, or at least different from Imageshack?? I just want to say that although Photobucket is a quality, good-quality website, Imageshack is a whole lotta better. Why? Here are some reasons:

Quick Upload By installing this piece of software on your computer, you can just right click on an image file and choose the "Upload" option. Just from your desktop or My Documents without even going to Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer and browsing for files!! Awesome!

Size Restrictions I heard the maximum is 512 kilobytes in Photobucket. I am sorry, Photobucket, but Imageshack (let's make it IS for short) has 1024 kilobytes (1 megabyte). Beats you down!!

Speed and Quality Photobucket just takes a whole lotta more time to load than IS. The quality is pretty well matched but I don't really know the pinpoint differences in each.

User Recognition System Photobucket? I log in last night, and then I still have to relogin. Yeah, you can call me stupid and lazy and suxxor for being a critic on that system but at least in IS, it will still remember your login/user for a LONG LONG time!!! No need to just typing in your username and pass everytime you want to access your thing.

Well, that's it. I just prefer Imageshack. So cool man. Switch now if you're in Photobucket. You won't regret moving there.

I use Photobucket for my pictures as well. I've just logged into my account to find that they now host videos too (by the looks of it). It could become quite useful although I don't really need to host any videos at the moment.

Although Photobucket is suited to my needs, I don't like fact that it decides to resize any image over 1MB as this ends up leaving many images in bad quality.

3. Web1000.com: Web Hosting - Thought it was great, but... (4)

   I have run the gamut in internet hosting, from Angelfire and Geocities when I first started, to
   hostultra and fateback. At one point, I thought I had it made with web1000.com ...no popups,
   unlimited space, and not very much down time. However, I soon found out that only people in the US
   and Canada could access their servers. (Don't ask me why...I don't know.) And, since my
   fansites are rather international in outreach, I was basically cutting off 75% of my fanbase for
   savings. So, all in all, it was a great host (mind you, this was about 2 years ago, so bea...

   When I was a newbie at finding website hosts, I decided to try Bravehost. After all, it did look

   unsubscribed from their newsletter, I still kept getting it! I must have unsubscribed like, three

   yet it still manages to bypass my spam and blocked e-mail addresses filter, every single tim...

    This is a review of a paid webhost. I used their service for over 5 months. Globat (or Glob@t) is
    a host that I used when I developed my second site. I used their $9.95 package which currently
    provides 4.1TB of annual bandwidth, 15,000MB storage, and 350GB monthly transfer. When I signed on
    with them that wasn't the deal they offered, but I'm not posting this because there's a

    from your computer and host them for you, for an unlimited amount of time, for any reason (except
    for pornography). Even though Astahost provide excellent hosting, it can be a bit tiresome, logging
    in to cPanel and finding (or creating) a folder to host a couple of images. This is why Image Shack
    is so useful - it's quick and effecient. Although thier homepage is a bit c...

17. Astahost A Place To Play, Nothing Else - Serious hosting needs, go elsewhere (29)

    When I discovered Astahost I thought I had found a very unique place for my hosting needs. Not only
    was the concept a cool one, but the prices for paid hosting was low. That was when I first
    discovered the site. The old saying that "if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is",
    definately holds true here. On Saturday, August 13 (yesterday), my credits were suddenly reduced
    from 31 to 13 for no apparent reason. I also lost use of my domain for most of the afternoon and
    early evening as well as my FTP access. This is the second time in the one week period I ha...
