What is the best image hosting site?

When I started BATing I was using imageshack. But after a while I was displeased with the whole interface so I abandoned it.

 

Thank I started using photobucket. I liked that I could create albums and organize images, but than I realized it has been resizing my pics automatically. I really REALLY didn't like that because my images would loose the quality.

 

Than I started using Imgur. I was super satisfied with it till yesterday, when I found out that I can only have 225 images on my free account visible. All the older ones can't be accessed. I hate that. Since I like keeping all of my images there for me, and possibly use them again.

 

I wanted to go back to imageshack, but it's not free anymore as I understand :P I wanted to open Flickr, but it requiers yahoo account and when I tried to open yahoo account it required me to put in my cell phone, and I'm really not big into sharing my personal information like that on the internet. 

 

I know that by now you're probably thinking that I'm a tough crowd to please but I have only a few basic requirements:

 

  • The site needs to be free.
  • It can't resize my pictures.
  • It has to have reasonably big storage space.
  • It should preferably have user friendly interface.

 

Any ideas and suggestions? What's it right now? Please help, thank you.

I have found having a paid imgur account is the best for the money.  What you get free is generally worth what you pay.

Majhost fulfills three of the four prerequisites. Only the UI is a bit clunky, but once you can handle that, enjoy your free unlimited storage ;)

 

Majhost is able to create directory structures, but Majhost doesn't like strange characters in file names: it's a bit picky on that...

I have a free account on imgur, but I can't upload because my computer is a piece of trash with a screen attached to it.

Uploading on imgur is simply drag and drop.  You can't do this?

I do Majhost also. I started with Imageshack, but, as Vlasky, I just hated its interface. It was so confusing...

 

I like Majhost for the same reasons I like Google's main screen. It doesn't look extremely good, but it works in a very simple way. You can create folders, organize your pics as you need... MandelSoft has spoken about it's downsides and I'm 101% agree with him. I only look for safety and a quick and clear interface on an image hosting site. Majhost does pretty good.

 

But it has a lot of downtime also.
