Image Hosting

[Richard in NC]

Does anybody use a good image hosting service? My requirements are pretty significant so I have yet to find one:
1. Ability to host 100s of pictures with no expiration.
2. Full size jpg, up to 10mp and 5MB in size. My 20MB raw images aren't a requirement.
3. Auto resize down to 800 or 1200 wide for viewing.
4. Direct linking. I hate forcing folks to go though a home menu or worse, registering just to see a picture.
5. Downloading of the full sized image for folks that want them. Here I'm OK with providing a URL to the hosting service and menu.
6. Video storage wouold be cool but unnessary since I've already got that.
EDIT: One more requirement. Cheap if not free. I'm OK with an annual purchase agreement to be free.

Until I find one, I vote for good attachments. I can deal with 800x600 <500KB images and a reasonable storage limit.

I use this: http://photobucket.com/

But I only have 3 pages worth of photos so far. The price is excellent. Free. But I do not know what your requirements may be and whether this site will fulfill them.

I use photobucket, but my requirements are minimal. Ms Boss (she says "Hi" to the guys) uses http://www.picturetrail.com/ - she has much greater needs than I do and recently switched from free to a paid account. You could check that one out and see if it suits your needs. Good luck.

I used photobucket and Snapfish. They work very well and do not expire. Check them out.

I use the paid account at PHOTOBUCKET, and I am VERY happy with it.

http://www.flickr.com is awesome. Works with my iPhoto and Nikon D50. I just go to Export in iPhoto and it uploads my photos in multiple sizes. You can tag and organize them.
