TinyPic question

    I host images of my site with tinypic.com, but I'm not sure if it is a good idea.

    I wonder how long tinypic keeps the links valid? Do they delete all the images from their servers after a certain period of time? How often do they do it?

    Using free image hosting sites is not the best idea... they don't keep it forever.

    I would try imageshack however! I've had images uploaded 3 years ago and it is STILL there. (people can request to get their images deleted or others though)

    Photobucket.. from my experience does not last long.. either they expire early or use up too much bandwidth and get deleted..

    Yeah.. I've had images on imageshack for a very long time :D I've just noticed more and more "broken" images from photobucket (well they have graphics that state that the image no longer exsists due to bandwidth or some other reason).

    OK, thank you guys for your advices. I like tinypic, there's no sign up required, but I'll see how long the links will work. :D

    www.pic-spot.com

    We will never delete your images either.

    Q: How long are images kept?

    A: The images are kept until they have not been viewed for 90 days. After 90 days have elapsed, your image may be removed.

    Do you mean tinypic or pic-spot? If this works with tinypic, then I'm OK with them. Anyway, thanks for your offer. I might use pic-spot for uploading some logo designs if I take part in a logo design contest here on DP...

    That was copied from TinyPic.

    With Pic-Spot, we will never delete your images.
