For anyone who needs a place to host their images. These sites will host for free.
www.deviantart.com
Art gallery, blog and image host all in one. There are a lot of great features here.
Note: DO NOT hotlink images from this site.
sta.sh/
A subset of DeviantArt; stores images without posting them to your DA gallery.
Note: Requires DA account to access.
imgur.com
Free hosting, no limits.
Note: Also functions as an image-sharing site, so check privacy settings before uploading
postimage.io/
Free hosting with regular and premium accounts. Good for casual sketches. Creates copy-paste image links for forum posting.
Note: Can't upload files more than 8MB or 10k x 10k pixels without premium account. No copyrighted or adult material.
imgbox.com/
Another free, simple image host. Includes thumbnails with each upload. Registration is available, but not required.
Note: Can only upload GIF, JPG, and PNG files up to 10MB.
Feel free to add your own. (but try not to repeat what others have posted)
Archive of shame:
photobucket.com
A great site for image hosting, can also host videos.
NOTE:Picture URLs turn into Photobucket links; images beyond 1024 x 786 are resized.
Photobucket has removed external image hosting from its free account services.
tinypic.com
A wonderful site for image hosting, no registration required. Highly recommended.
TIP: Save your images! Since there's no registration, images can be lost to time or overwritten.
Tinypic has been shuttered.
imgsafe.org
A free, simple image host. Registration is available, but not required.
Note: Can't upload files more than 20MB. Doesn't create copy-paste image links for posting.
Note 2: Has a tendency to go down, and it can be for a few days at a time. Will update if it becomes more stable.
Apparently deletes images entirely - unclear if this is random, a bug, or if images are deleted after a certain (unidentified) amount of time. Probably best to avoid.
