The VillagePhotos experiment is over. Long live the new king

I discovered you need to give them money if you want to host more than a certain limit of files. Sigh.

On the other hand, I've found three replacments.

SaveFile - This website offers free hosting of images, docs, zips, music, video, and other file types (hotlinking allowed) - can be used for eBay auction pics, signatures, etc. No signup is required

Limitations: Max file size 1024 KB (1MB); File types allowed: txt, jpg, gif, bmp, png, swf (Flash), arj, zip, ace, exe, txt, nfo, txt, doc, mp3, wav, xls, pdf (Adobe Acrobat files).

(note... they have a high bandwidth option that isn't instantaneous.. you request this with a form and they get back to you. Something like 1GB online, for free!)


BestUpload - No signup is required at "Best Upload". They offer free webhosting for images, music, documents, Flash, compressed files, and other file types. Hotlinking allowed (can be used for messageboard signatures, ebay auction pics, photos at websites, etc.).

Limitations: Filetypes supported: TXT, JPG, GIF, BMP, PNG, SWF, JPEG, ARJ, RAR, ZIP, ACE, EXE, TXT, NFO, TXT, DOC, MP3, WAV, XLS, PDF; Files are hosted as long they are active, which means they delete files that haven't been loaded for 30 days; Max filesize is 600 KB.

FreeUpload - "Free Upload" offers free image uploading and hosting, with direct linking allowed (hotlinking) and no signup required, so can be used for message board avatars, online auctions, personal websites, etc. You can upload 1 file at a time via browser upload form.

Limitations: File size limit 500 KB; No storage space or bandwidth limit; File types allowed: JPG, GIF, BMP, PNG, JPEG.

This is a cool service... just a form to upload an image and then they feedback the URL to paste into whatever format you are using. I uploaded "Lounge Larry" via Free-Webhosts..
