Free image hosting

Image hosting is essentially a service which allows you to upload images on the internet website. The hosting is useful for variety of reasons such as sharing on blogs, email, Ebay and on forums. Since, the hosted images are on the internet they can be accessed anywhere in the world and on any computer. This can be very useful when you need access to your images on someone else computer.

However, a drawback of using free image hosting is the longevity of the websites. These websites occasionally vanish, due to financial reasons. This means all your hosted images will vanish along with the website. Another drawback of free image hosting is the amount adverts on the website, but this is expected as the websites need to generate revenue for providing a free service.
