so my photobucket account is about to expire and for some reason the $39.95 they want to charge me for another year seems a bit pricey. for some reason i remember paying like $15 for a whole year last year. so fuck 40.
anyone know of anything cheaper thats easy and reliable too? im also considering just buying my own domain (for a little more money i wont care), but i dunno where from. havent looked into this kinda shit in years so i dunno what or where the good deals are.
any info is appreciated. thanks in advance. but mostly i think im looking for my own domain. no clue what i want to do with it, but something cheap and reliable options are what im looking for.

Photobucket charges money? This I did not know. Also, use Flickr. If you want to go with webhosting, use Dreamhost.

they charge money if you dont want them to show "temp exceeded limit" instead of your image. really gay.
dreamhost sounds pretty decent though... mostly id like a domain that is obviously reliable (for my own needs) and allows for a decent amount of monthly bandwidth as theres some stuff id like to share via the domain. 500gb storage + 5tb bandwidth sounds pretty damn good, unless im reading wrong.

Dreamhost are amazing. Plus your storage and bandwidth increase incrementally all the time.

You're reading it correctly. The disk space and bandwidth also increase on a weekly basis, by 2GB and 40GB respectively
Edit: Yes, like Jake said

i thought thats what i read but after drinking all day long i thought my eyes were tricking me...
hows the reliability with dreamhost though? doesnt have to be 100% but 95% is probably good enough.

Why don't you just register another photobucket account?

Extremely reliable. Only had a problem, I dunno, maybe 3 times? And it was sorted pretty much straight away anyway.

i really gonna look into this then... i was looking at godaddy and shit, but the prices seems kinda rip-off-ish... hence why i posted here.
photobucket alternative?
