Free Pic hosting sites?

I'm sure some of you others have run into this issue, so here I am asking 🙂
Hopefully this isn't a repost, and if it is, sue me 😉

The situation:
I am allowed 10 megs of webspace with my ISP, and I'm beginning to get close to having that space filled. I have a couple of short videos and several pics which are taking up most of the space. I am planning to add quite a few more pics to my site, but I won't be able to since I'll be running over my 10 meg limit. (And for you pervs reading this, sorry, it's not porn or anything similar, just funny pics I've made, found, and collected over time) I know Geocities blocks outside referrals like that, but I'm unsure about other sites. I checked pics.bbzzdd.com and saw that it's against their terms of service as well. This isn't a commercial site, just a personal webpage, and I won't need *too* much space, just enough to upload a bunch of funny pics and possibly a few short funny videos.

The question:
What site or sites do you recommend that allow free pic (and possibly even file) hosting that would allow me to upload my pics and link to them from my personal webpage? Also, how much space do they allow?

Thanks in advance for any ideas/suggestions! :beer: There's a cold one for ya too.

100webspace.com but I'm not sure if it allows hotlinking.

i.Binary files, downloads, etc. that are not linked to an HTML page on the user's site, such that an advertising banner is displayed. Links back to files on a user's 100WebSpace.com page from other sites must also link first to an HTML page on 100WebSpace.com, which then links to the binary files.

Found that in their terms of service...That kinda sounds like my intentions would be a violation.
If they allow hotlinking like that, it would be sweet considering that's 100 free megs. I could always make a generic page that links all of those pics, but that would be rather..how should I put it.. Wrong of me to do lol
 
cornbread, can you afford $10/yr for 200MB disk space/4GB per month bandwidth?

Hotlinking is allowed, host any type of files you want. Paypal is accepted.

Not bad at all, I already have a domain name, so that won't be needed, but the other features are a good extra that I may be able to use. Thank ya much!
 
if you allready have a domain name, you just need a host and you can run YOUR OWN pic hosting site, me, ross, DT,.. bunch of other could even set it up for you
 
Since you already own a domain, sign up with RippleHost for $9.99/yr then go to your domain registrars web site and use RippleHosts DNS name servers.

Now you can have e-mail, webmail, MySQL, PHP, your own pichosting, file downloads, everything you want for only $9.99/yr
