Hello, all. I've got an issue, and maybe you can help.
When I started this project, I knew I'd take more than one photo a day, so I did some research on blog hosts and decided that Google's "blogger" was my best bet. I mean, it's Google. They're all about unlimited storage and open source, right? But today, while I was playing catch-up for the last couple of weeks, my blog told me I had reached my maximum capacity for storage - one gigabyte. (That's around 400 photos.)
They told me that I could expand my storage by purchasing more space, but I'm a penniless teenager whose mom is SO not going to go for that. Does anyone know of a way around this besides deleting old shots? Or is there another blogging service with storage that really IS unlimited?
The storage with google isn't that expensive if you could maybe work with your mom? I'm thinking most blog sites will have some type of limit in place.
Nowhere does truly unlimited, because it's not possible, and if they "do" (aka, claim to) then it'll be so unreliable as to drive you mad, or just vanish one day leaving you with nothing, and no recourse.
To give you some numbers to think about, the firm I use for hosting have a plan with 2GB storage for £2.99/month, and one with 10GB for £5.99 month, with discounts if you pay by year.
Disclosure: that link contains my affiliate ref, but I wouldn't recommend them if they weren't great. Hosting yourself would introduce some mild extra complications for uploading, but nothing that couldn't be worked out :)
@proudrhrshipper NP at all. I have 80 GB of storage with google that I only pay 20 bucks a year for. They changed the size storage on the plan I had a few years ago and I never bothered to downgrade to less storage.
Tweets ahoy!

You could one of many free web hosts and keep them in a basic site format - I'm on zymic atm, hosting my site think it's 5GB and 300GB bandwidth...
I have a 1 Terabyte External hard drive. In case that crashes, I pay to use SmugMug. That is unlimited.
