Hello to all the community,

Me and a university's colleague have created a site of Images Hosting. If you are looking for an alternative FREE image hosting site, now I present www.imageStorming.com. The site has been online for over a year with thousands of images uploaded.

These are the features that must have the images to be hosted in our servers:

Allowed Dimention: 10000x10000
Allowed Size: 10 MB
Allowed types: jpg - jpeg - Gif - Png - Bmp
Time Hosts: Forever
Price: Completly free
How many images can I upload?: There is no limit!

For questions you can send an email to contact REMOVED

It's also possible to use this form to contact our team:
http://imagestorming.com/contact

You will have also the possibility to download our Addons for Firefox & Chrome, to upload the images directly from web (with right click on image) to our servers.
http://www.imagestorming.com/plugin

We are using Content delivery network (CDN) system to improve our service with three different servers. Having multiple servers you will have a great experience using our service.

I hope our service could be useful for our visitors and if you can leave a message with your consideration,

Greetings

I have a question: if the service is free, how do you pay for hosting and the CDN?

I have other sites that permit me to mantein this site completly free. Maybe on the future we will put same services at payment, but the hosting of images will be always free. For now we are using only three different servers, but on futures we will think to increase the number

Now we are working on the creation of Acounts and Gallery to improve our service, obviusly always free.

Cheers

I think it makes more sense as a site owner to use my own domain rather than a third party. I have no idea what the future of an image hosting service is, but I know the future of my site, and better yet, the URL to the images on my site where I have full control. Rock on, dude. Let's see how long the above image stays around.

For now our site is used to host images on forum/site/social network, but on future with the creation of private account and gallery (private and public) can be used also to share personal images to friends/famility.

However you can try our site for some time and at the end, i'm sure, you will trust us. Thank you for your words.

Cheers

I barely trust myself, so I don't know how much trust I should put in others, especially those who I discover on the intarwebz. Cheers.

You are right, but our hosting, for now, is used for the 90% of the time by guests that host temporally images and not personal images.

With the creation of account i'm sure that people will start to create their own gallery and will start to trust us.

However thank you for your consideration.

Best regards,

If there is a signup page somewhere on your site, I sure couldn't find it. It's a shame too, cause it looks a lot nicer than photobucket, which is mostly Flash based.

It's under develop. I think we will release the big update at the end of summer.

Looks neat and complete (even better then ImageShack or imgur),will certainly try this out .....Thank you for sharing

For now we have a little problem with an exponential increase of the bandwidth used. For that we are working on CDN service because with these values our network is not very stable. (80 gb in one day?!)

The only problem is that now we are in an university's exam period and we are busy, but we will search to work also on API system to be used by external forums/sites.

bandwidth

Hits

Looks cool, but I'll stick with imgur simply because it's been proven reliable and trustworthy.

I can quote you, i always used imgur. However our project is growing very fast we reached 8.000.000 hits and 1 TB of bandwidth every day.

We added another new server to handle these requests.

Hope you will continue to use http://imagestorming.com,

And another server... how's this all being paid for?

I'm the administrator of an Lineage2 pack, we develop it. So i bring a lot of new "admin" that need hosting for their GameServer to my hosting provider.

So in exachange they give me a little network (obvius for free) where i can manage this service. A sort of affiliation...

I like help people and people help me, that's logic.

Psst, do you cater for 'adult content' ?

The important thing is that there are no child abuse content.

Gawd, I should think not lol

Don't worry, the sort of stuff I had in mind would be hard pressed to shock anyone's grandmother but is by definition 18+

Hi all, I wanted to give you some news about the project

We're growing very fast, perhaps too quickly. We finally have a mement of stop and we can go on vacation.

Here are some statistics of the last period:

18.000.000 hits with 4 TB of bandwidth used every day.

I want to say thanks for all the people that are using our service!
