Because i don't like many of the other free image hosts (slow, and offline for a lot of time), i've written my own free image hosting script...

It's currently in public beta, free and anonymous :)
This means the site is open, and can be used by anybody... There is, however, a small chance of bugs and/or missing features

During the bèta, i probably won't put any real adds over/under the hosted images ;)

Demo:

This is, for now, also the official feature request and support thread...
So if you'd like some new features, or found a bug, post on this thread to get some support!

Any limitations on the images you're hosting?

And thanks by the way for helping the community.
Looking good on your template ;)

Not really. You can upload huge pictures, my script will resize them into 1024*x, 800*x and 100*x automatically.
The images can be gif, jpg, bmp or png, they will automatically be converted into jpg

The only thing i don't allow is illegal porn (involving underaged persons, animals,...).

Thanks for the feedback :)

Ohh, so this is simply for the avatars?

Not really,
You can use it for any image... My script will generate a cut and paste code which you can use to paste directly into a post (like the demo in the OP). If you click the thumbnail, there is a link to the bigger image, and if you click on the bigger image => it links to the "fullsized" image (unless the fullsized image was wider than 1024px, in that case it was resized)
You're also free to use it for avatar hosting

This is very nice and honestly load a lot faster than the other free image hosting I was using but lately the speed of it has slow down and just about time I was looking for an alternative and now I stumble upon your free hosting which I will be using it from now on :) ... by the way I could help with the designing part in case you will be looking for some.

Best regards

Thanks for the kind words :)

I aimed to create a script that was fast enough, and that could easily be fixed if there ever is a performance issue.

The script is currently running on my default LAMP stack, on my dedicated server where several of my other websites are currently hosted. The server only has 1 scsi disk and runs about 10 Vhosts... If the performance ever declines, i can divide the website in it's basic components, and run each component on its own server... Also, i could host the images on a ramnode VPS  (they have super fast disks, with their SSD cached raid 10 setup) and even setup a round-robin structure with cloudflare caching and nginx webservers...

This was just to show that this website has potential to grow, if it needs to ;)

About your offer to help me with a design: that would be great :)
At the moment, the site is running without ads, so i don't really have a budget ATM. As soon as i'm out of the bèta-phase, i was thinking about using a-ads as an advertising network, so by that time, i might have some BTC to pay you  ;D

Your very welcome :) Well as of now the performance of your own dedicated server is great and it's nice that your planing on improvements as well as upfront solution before the problems arises and from the point of view of a user, I could say it definitely has the potential to grow ;) ... I'll be more than happy to help you by then when the need of it, is called, best of luck :)

Today, following features were added:

• the confirmation page now shows the BBcode, the htmlcode and the direct link
• the confirmation page now shows a delete-code
• the confirmation page now shows the thumbnail of your image, so you can immediately see the end result

Following features are on the to-do list:

• a function where you can delete your image when you have its confirmation-code
• many gui improvements

Nice project! another useful site great project.
bookmarked this site! keep it work.

Changed the GUI a little bit, and changed the maximum filesize this week :)
