Once you have a website, and want to make graphics and publish them, you'll need an image host. An image host is a website that saves your images and give it a place on the web. You'll want to choose a reliable image hosts. When some image hosts run out of space, all your images will disappear or just show as a gray box with an X in it. Some popular image hosts are Photobucket, ImageShack, and TinyPic.
Photobucket
Photobucket is a very good image host. All the images that are hosted on your account are never "broken", or not working. There are flashy ads on their site, though. Overall, Photobucket is a very good image host.
ImageShack
ImageShack is a fairly reliable image host. ImageShack just uploads your image, and places it in a random folder or subfolder, which is different from Photobucket's user uploads. Sometimes ImageShack images don't appear, probably because of its slightly unorganized uploading technique. ImageShack, like Photobucket, has flashy ads. Overall, ImageShack is a good image host.
TinyPic
TinyPic is very similar to ImageShack. It uses similar methods, and sometimes images that you upload don't show. TinyPic also has flashy ads, which can be annoying. TinyPic loads a bit slowly, though. Overall, TinyPic is a good image host.
Now that you have some info on the image hosts, you can choose which image host you like best. Below, I ranked the image hosts, but remember, you should choose which one you are most comfortable with.
