What's a good Free/Cheap photo site?

[LOLyourFace]

It's not for your usual pics here and there. I have about 500 pictures of my memories that I want to share with friends. (accumulated over many years)

I'm looking for:
*the "main page -> album -> thumbnailed pictures -> actual pictures" format
*lots of space... I can resize them to 1024x768 or something... maybe 20-30mb?
*an easy interface to navigate for both viewers and the host.
*must support hot-linking...

or
Is it that hard to make my own photo album? I have little to no HTML experience but as with most ATOTers I can learn fast as it should be intuitive... I already have that 1and1.com free hosting...

http://www.fotki.com looks pretty nice... premium member ship is $30 a year...

not too many companies i know do hot linking.

but look into ofoto, sony's imagestation (Great site- unlimited storage)

or download a PHP photo album, thats actually what i'd suggest. google for "dalbum" you need no html skills, just some basic skills on FTP permissions etc, which is all int eh readme

example site is here
