Anyone Keep Large Photo Albums on the Internet? What's the Best Site?
I'd like to post several hundred photos from my 5 megapixel camera on the web and would like to find the best place to store them. For that much space (3-500MB?), I assume a paid site will be required. Don't expect to get a lot of hits per picture -- it's just the one-time bandwidth an storage.

I set up a basic free account at Flickr, which works pretty well but has a prohibitive uploading threshold. It costs $24 a year for unlimited uploading and storage.

I'd like to understand if there are better options. I don't need anything too fancy, although subdirectories would be nice.

Note: Posted in the Computer Group, but responses are slow.

1. I'm hoping someone will answer you. Good question. I'm more
scared of how long the cd's last and the hard drives. They don't last forever. Plus it's a pain to go through them. Even $24 a year sounds like it would be worth it.

4. I Use Photobucket for Posting Pics on DU
but would prefer a different format for photo albums. Haven't run into a limit yet on Photobucket, but a lot of the image hosting places have thresholds of some kind.
