    Web host for pictures

    We're doing a big alumni project in the Sailing Club at uni and have been getting a lot of high res scans and pictures sent in for our archives. The University is refusing to increase our storage (at a fairly measley 150mb right now) so I have been storing things on my computer.

    I want to put them all online at some point but there is no chance of doing it through the university. I'm looking of for a fairly cheap host for them on the internet. I'm not too fussed about mail servers, database access etc as I just want to store files and link them to the sailing club website. I could go down the flickr or imageshack route but I'd rather be in control of them myself as its easier in the long run.

    It would probably need ~5Gb space and <5gb per month bandwidth. Can anyone recommend any cheap and simple hosts for this?

    If you are looking for something free, I use http://www.agigforfree.com/. Loads of other free features, but i use it for posting photos on forums etc because i supports hot linking of images. You could open a few accounts to store photos on.

    Turns out the uni compsoc does hosting - &#163;5 for 1gb and unlimited bandwidth so bit of a bargain!
