Any cheap online image storage solution?
I am looking for a cheap online image storage for my websites (not for backup my own photos). So the basic requirements are:
- easy to upload and manage/organize images.
- cheap in HDD space and BW limit
- support hotlinking. i.e. can put the image link direct into
<img src="link">on my websites. - support hotlinking protection/prevention. Only domains in the whitelist are allowed to fetch images, which prevent others to steal my BW.
If there is no existing solution, any self-hosted option available? I prefer lightweight program in PHP.
TIA

You could use something like Buyshared for $5/yr and run a PHP script on it
That's what I am asking for...what kind of PHP script? any recommendation?

How about imgur? Depending on how you'd use it, it can be free.
Hotlinking
Do you just want to upload files and have them served? If so our object store maybe a good option. How many images do you want to serve and roughly what is your traffic per month?
Dropbox, Amazon Prime Photos, Flickr?
