I am looking for a new web host for my online photo album.
I have always used a free hosting service, but am now upgrading and combining my hosting uses.
I have recently dropped Photobucket as my photo storage for hosting photos to be added to enthusiast forum posts.
I did not like that they required access and the right to use all user materials uploaded for any reason they they saw fit, for as long as they saw fit.
I didn't worry about it much as long as their service was free.
I used a free hosting service for my online album for a long time, but let it lapse while I looked around for a replacement software for the old, clunky software I was using.
I had been happy with their free hosting service. So, I opened a new account and installed the new Piwigo software. It seemed to work well for a trial install.
I was about to inquire about 3rd party hosting with a paid subscription when I read their terms of service. They also require the use, as they see fit, of all user materials, whether with free or paid hosting. That was the deal breaker.
So, questions:
1.
I want to use the Piwigo web album software.
Do you support the convenient use of that software?
2.
Can I host photos to be embedded into enthusiast forum posts?
I do not think that traffic for these photos will be all that high, and will taper off very quickly after each insertion.
3.
Do you require the right to use all user materials [read photos into that] for your purposes beyond what is need to provide your services to provide my web site?
