Hi there, I was thinking of making a small site of my own to post some pictures I created. ( It has a wee bit more standing than just using the gallery here...) The problem is however that some free webspace providers ( would be nice if the webspace is for free ) don't want sites that only contain pictures, and none of the free webspace providers want sites that contain, what they call "pornographic or abusive content" Before you think wrong of me :I'm not planning on making a pornosite! But as you know sometimes (like when you created a lovely texture that you want to show off ) you could do with a little nudity. Also warscenes would not be allowed due to violence and stuff. So I was wondering if someone of you knows a free webspace provider that wouldn't delete my possible site if an occational nude-or-violence-containing image was posted... Thanks a lot Me

Attached Link: http://www.villagephotos.com/tos.asp

If it's just pictures you want to show, you could try Village Photos. The link is to their TOS, which only seems to bar obscene/kiddie-porn pics. You can set up albums for free, or pay a bit and get much more space and bandwidth. Check it out.

I hate to say this, but if you really want a good site, you might want to consider buying hosting. I know of a good one that I use to use long ago, called FatCow.com 99 bucks for the entire year. I am sure that there might be better deals, but that company isn't going anywhere :) --Rebekah-- Good luck :)

If you are going to buy hosting, I can't recommend xenhosting.com enough. I've never had downtime.
