Photobucket alternatives

[Deleted account Cooperman]

I have used this to host my photo's for posting on here. Two problems have now arisen:

1. I have posted a ride report last month (not that long) but have been informed by PB that my monthly bandwidth has been used and so unless I upgrade my photo's are no longer visible.

2. PB has been blocked at work as a social, not business, use.

So - time to move on. What are the alternatives?

I use Google to Blog my trips and have been able to link images from there. Google + is also being pushed at work alongside LinkedIn as a digital platform to get company messages out, and so is unlikely to get blocked. Do Google start charging?

Any better platforms?

I would use Smugmug but, like Photobucket, it's blocked at my work.

Tried a few, but went back to Smugmug..http://www.smugmug.com/

There customer service is outstanding should you ever need assistance..

Cooperman, moved from photobucket because of ads and new system. Bought the basic level Smugmug. It's excellent.
Left all me old photos with the photobucket so they still appear on here.

I use TinyPic, sort of Photobucket Lite but stable, free and user-friendly. It's owned by PB but you can have accounts with both (I do)

So it looks like I've got to cough up some $'s to host my pics

(not a good thought for a Yorkshire Day hangover )

Quick review (in $'s)

PB - 5/month or 50/year for 50GB

Google - 15GB free. 5/month or 50/year for 100GB

Smugmug - 5/month or 40/year for unlimited storage

I'm trying SlickPic at the moment as I too have exceeded my PB bandwidth.
