Digital Photographs

1

I have thousands of digital photographs that I wish to share with my family and friends is there?

a website that I can upload them to that is secure, permanent and relatively cheap to do so?
I have thought about the DVD / CD option and it's not too practical. I live and work in China. I want to let the folks back home in Blighty have easy access to these pictures.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

Google do a easy photo manipulation and gallery programme called Picasa which allows you to easily upload your photos to Picasa online web albums. You don't have to download the software if you dont want, but its easier, and the programme tells you which photos you've already uploaded.
You get 1GB of free online space to put your photos on and can set the pictures to private so that no-one but you can access it unless you send them the web address (it has a list of random letters in the web address when set to private). The photos can remain on there permanently and can be organised into albums (as many as you want, unlike flickr, which limits you to 3 unless you pay. Flickr also limits you to how many photos you upload in a month unless you pay where as picasa doesn't ).
To upgrade to more online space you have to pay -
$25 USD per year= 7GB
$100 = 26GB
$300 = 101GB
$500 = 251GB

Photobucket is similar, except it doesn't have software to organise your photos and theres a maximum file size of 1MB, image dimension upto1024x768 and maxiumum bandwidth of 25GB. It offers 1GB free space and 5GB on upgrade costing $25 USD per year.
