[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 2796771, member: 59677"]You have a couple choices... Other [B]cloud storage providers[/B]. The problem here is that we are transitioning from a free to fee model. And nobody really knows what a realistic price is. PhotoSuckIt is just the latest to explore (and at $400/year they've definitely gone off the map). It's also a sucky business, with people entering and leaving frequently. And the resultant churn to us as users. The big ones are Google (GoogleDrive), Microsoft (OneDrive) and Apple (iSomethingOrOther). The costs are roughly $100/year/TB. The gallery here is basically cloud storage, but at least it's all or nothing - if CT goes belly up, the loss of you cloud secondary photo storage isn't the biggest deal. CollectiveCoin is just another cloud storage provider. It's nice to have an option that is focused on our peculiar photos. But I really have no idea how they can cover the costs w/o fees or adverts (which is the slope PhotoSuckIt went down). For now, I guess SB is covering it as a loss leader... Your [B]own hosting[/B]. Any of the hosting companies (I use 1and1 but that's more stare decisis than any good reason) offers a low end $1/month plan with around 100GB of storage, a website and an SSL certificate.
