I use Flickr. Some people have questions about the vulnerability of the images posted. They have an uploader that allows an individual to load several images at once. If they all have the same tags, then they can be tagged as they upload.

I am comfortable with Flickr, but I am not a professional.

John, you've got a website... where are you hosting it? You can't just use that server? I'd think that it would be the quickest, easiest, cheapest solution. No? Are you looking for order fulfillment?

Oh, and I've just gotta tell ya - a site that refuses to open unless I use Internet Explorer is the most annoying thing I've come across in a looooong time! Get with the times, man! Firefox is a huge market segment...

The site I use is on a friend of my cousins and the server is not backed up or anything. I just put a quick site together years ago but am now wanting somthing a lot better. Main reason is for backup purposes as well as ease of use. Plus, I dont like the upkeep of the site, just a pain in the arse. Simple and effective is better, and for hardly nothing a year, a hosted solution will work.
