Web hosting for the photobucketly challenged - Morganite - 09-29-2017
So, my housing situation has kind of settled down (in a different state! How did they convince me to do that!), and I've decided I want to get back into the Let's Play thing. There's just one problem.
![[Image: lprorona_001_003.jpg]](http://i1260.photobucket.com/albums/ii568/morganthene/Lets%20Play%20Atelier%20Rorona/Update%20001/lprorona_001_003.jpg)
And that's just a little absurd.
So I got to thinking, if I have to deal with moving everything around anyway, I'd like to get some proper hosting. Someplace I can upload my html files too, and have everything how I want it, and not have to split entries up randomly and edit links in and so forth. Don't need any fancy engines or frameworks, just a place to put some flat files. That doesn't require me to know what I'm doing. And that's cheap.
Labster brought up ramnode during the forum transition, which looks pretty good on the 'cheap' aspect... but they also seem to require you to know what you're doing. And have a domain name. I don't really want to buy a domain name for various reasons.
Got any suggestions?

I've been moving my stuff over to Imgur.
There's no way I'm going to drop the amount of cash Photobucket is demanding just to store some pics

Ask your ISP whether your account includes a website. If all you're doing is uploading flatfiles, a place to upload them to is all you need.

They do, but it's tiny, and more space is stupidly expensive.

Really, just use Imgur. It's simple as dirt to use, and yet also a reasonably powerful with it ability to organize everything into albums, make things private, and is even its own social media platform (kinda) if you feel like making use of that aspect of Imgur.

I've moved over to Imgur myself. It's very good (for now).

Imgur does not provide this.

Can you afford CA$5/month?

That's... interestingly open ended. At both ends. I really have no idea if the space I'd expect to use would be found excessive, not excessive, or tiny.
