Hi I was wondering what what site you guys would recommend for to host images that I'm using in an nreality image map. Up till now I've been using imageshack but it has somehow corrupted a bunch of images that I uploaded there.

More info
For a while I've been working on an nreality image map which requires a ludicrous number of images and I was up loading them in batches to imageshack like this http://img204.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=runr1.png and then getting the specific urls to load as icons in the map. However as you can see since I uploaded them in December about half of them have glitched and are no longer available doing that 404 thing although they were working when I uploaded them. This is really bad cause not only does it mean I have to go through uploading the images again (there are many more than just those 9) and the re-edit the new urls into my map data but I have no guarantee it won't just happen again and my map will stop working a few days after I post it. So either I need a solution to this problem or more likely a reliable image uploading site where I can re-upload all the images without worrying about the links breaking and which gives up easy access to the location of the image itself like this http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/4122/runr5.png Thanks.

Imageshack is a horrible horrible website and I have rarely ever used it for anything ever. I don't know exactly what it is but Imageshack has always failed me in some way or another.

There are much better alternatives. Here is a thread that might help you: ::Techno's Image Program Guide::
Scroll down in the first post and look for "Part 3: Hosting Images & Showing Off".
In that section you'll find plenty of websites suitable for image hosting.
