    Hey all, I am just wondering what the best place is to upload images for my blog?. I am using Photobucket right now and it's working great but, I fear their site shutting down one day and just losing all the images on my blog posts... I want to use a separate site to save space on my blogs hosting server.

    Dropbox, Go for premium Dropbox. No fear of losing. Infact if you have a better unlimited hosting like Hostgator, you will have no problem of images and no fear of backups and all those stuffs.

    They generally take backup from time to time and it can be restored at any point of time of your blog. PM me if you need more help.

    I am actually with a premium host (WPengine) that has a limit on space, which is worth it in my mind because I get that piece of mind if you know what I mean. It seems I can link to dropbox images once I upload them.

    But I am curious, if you think that sticking with Photobucket is a bad idea for the long term?.

    Any free service can stop working/delete your stuff anytime. If you are afraid that this might happen, host your images on your domain.
