Thread: Image Hosting

  1. #1

    Default Image Hosting

    I'm doing some html and need to host my image on a website. Imgur doesn't do massive images 9500 px wide. I keep getting failed upload error from them. Flickr has this weird format that is like photobucket. Tiny pic resizes it. Imageshack is pay to use now.

    Anyone know of a good hosting site?

    I don't know but I use dropbox often when working with clients. I believe you can set sharing to everyone though. It might work depending on what you are after.

    I'm doing some html and need t
    just use your local install of ?? what Apache or nginx

    if you are "Doing html"
    then you will WANT a local install ed server


    Apache 2.4 is GREAT
    I have used for years since before Apsche 2.0 came out when 1.4 was still common
    http://httpd.apache.org/

    or

    if just static html 1 from the 1985 - 2000 era
    then just code the image tag to a folder on your machine

    you will be able to see it on 127.0.0.1

    I uploaded the image to my host/server space and it asks for a password when I open the link to the page I want to make.

    a question ???
    I uploaded the image to my host/server space
    ???
    your ISP provided space ?

    that password WILL be associated with a credit card or bank account
    do not give that out

    do you need to just link to it
    or
    display it and make thumbnails
    for that basic html really will not do
    add PHP or Perl or ruby


    if a link only
    do you have a gmail account
    use some of the 25 gig of FREE storage

    I would never give the password away, I know that

    I dont know coding that well, so I made another thread for that.

    I tried using google, but for some reason google drive scaled the image down.

    if only you need to see it and not others
    a standard "<a> " tag
    --- for Linux file system
    Code:
     <a href="/home/UserName/public_html/image.png"</a>
    see one of the many HTML references

    I found PostImg.org for my image hosting. There is no limit to space, or file size (that I know of):
    http://postimage.org/

    Edit:
    "Postimage.org was founded in 2004 to provide forums with an easy way to upload images for free. Postimage is a very simple, fast, reliable free image host. It's perfect for linking to auctions, message boards, blogs, and other websites. Postimage guarantees maximum uptime and performance so your image will be here whenever you need it. There is no registration or login, all you have to do is submit your picture. With continuous upgrades and dedicated staff Postimage is the #1 solution for Free Image Hosting."

    Ther is also an App you can download for your desktop: http://postimage.org/app.php
    I use it frequently for screenshots. Once you select the area to screenshot, you can edit the picture before uploading it, or you can save it to your computer.
