Imagebam / ImageVenue / Imgbox etc ... which is preferred
 

As at now (July 2017), what do the experts recommend as the most convenient and stable of the image hosting platforms?

I see that ImageBam and Imgbox have been reprieved as options - are they still recommended?

Imgbox seems to be pretty stable, imagebam less so. As much as VEF could be said to recommend an image host, they are the standard suggestions. Many members still use imagevenue, though I find it a bit cumbersome and temperamental.

Other popular image hosts include...

Turbo Image Host
PiXhost
PiXXXels
hotflick

pimp&host is also an option, but it has been blocked by certain countries and that may cause some problems.

All image hosts have their advantages and disadvantages. I would recommend that you play around with them and see which ones suit you best. Remember, you can always try them out in the Test Forum, here...
