STRAT Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 can anyone suggest any free web space that allows direct/remote image linking? (i dont mean things like flickr or imageshack or other image uploaders) thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesTaylor Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 can anyone suggest any free web space that allows direct/remote image linking? (i dont mean things like flickr or imageshack or other image uploaders) thank you what do you mean by direct/remote image linking? if its what i think i imagine any web space will do. if your planning on simply using it to host images and link them into a thread for example it would just be a case of setting the appropriate URL to the file.

STRAT Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 direct linking means using the space to host say an image or html file, then posting the appropriate url in another web site and the image automatically showing. most dont allow this. divshare.com looks good though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandmanNinja Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I use http://www.1and1.com - not free, but something like $3 a month and you get GIGS of storage! Great tech support, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manta Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 ya...these days you can get web space for $3 a month..if someone can't afford that, then I don't think they're even interested, never mind serious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horhe Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 direct linking means using the space to host say an image or html file, then posting the appropriate url in another web site and the image automatically showing. most dont allow this. divshare.com looks good though Photobucket works well... been using it for a couple of months now. dot com But I guess that qualifies into the category of an image uploader...

STRAT Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 thanks guys. yup, i'm not a skint flint, i just thought that in todays internet age of (almost) anything goes i'd be able to get decent free linkable web space. not really it seams. my need has slightly grown now. i'm embarking on a personal project (non architectural or cg) and am writing a journal as i go. i'd like to publish it some how so it's at the stage now where i dont mind paying a monthly fee. i used to use Hostexcellence at one stage, maybe i'll look into it again. and there's a few good suggestions here too.

Crazy Homeless Guy Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 With free web space you will always be playing by the host rules. I would rather pay the fee to have the control and flexibility of the files I want to host. In reality, how much time have you already spent looking for free space? Is that time worth less than the $3 a month for space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernest Burden III Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 am writing a journal as i go. i'd like to publish it some how so it's at the stage now where i dont mind paying a monthly fee. What about a blog? blogspot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 must admit, i know next to zero about blogs, what they are, where you do them, how you do them, what exposure they get etc etc. but it's ok, i dont mind paying a couple of bucks a month for proper web space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 it's not an image uploader i'm after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernest Burden III Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 What about a blog? blogspot? must admit, i know next to zero about blogs, what they are, where you do them... http://www.blogspot.com I read some great blogs hosted there on design and other fun things. I also don't know about them much, but the ones I read have text, images, animations, links archived posts...sounds like what you wanted to do, so far as you've explained it. Which isn't very far.
