Best free image hosting?

I'm primarily looking for a free solution to online image storage that will allow external linking to the images? Right now I use photobucket but I'm sure I will run out of space in a few months. I'm not averse to paying, but damnit, if there's a free service out there, I'd like to know about it.

The ones I don't want to deal with are sites:

- that require me to use some proprietary app to upload pictures.
- don't allow external linking (like from forums or blogs)

Any thoughts?
TIA

Owning your own domain and web hosting is cheaper and easier than ever, it also offers you total control:
  • NameCheap.com offers .info domain for $2.88 for the first year. If you can afford it go for an easier to remember .com or .net TLD instead.
  • Telnap.com hosts my domain dizzle.net which you were testing out.

Please let me know if you have any questions 🙂

excellent man, I never thought about this solution. paying the same amount but having a buttload of more stuff is always a good thing. I'll check those links out.

That's always good to hear, the advantages of your own domain/web hosting are:
  • 100% total control
  • Your email address will never change again whether you move from Florida to Fiji, it will remain the same.
  • Webmail access
  • With cPanel and Fantastico you can auto install any of 30+ scripts in about 30 seconds. You installed coppermine with no problems.
  • Hotlinking is allowed since you have total control.
  • The ability to install your own pichosting service, forums, blog, CMS, etc.
  • The possibilities are endless.
