Google Sites is a free low-end webhosting service (very limited javascript & CSS) that offers 100megs of free space.
The great part is, they have a nice way of managing uploads, and for years I used them as my image host before I moved to dropbox.
Here is how to use it!
First, you need a free google account, and then go to http://sites.google.com, and make sure your account is set up.
Once you have a home/index page, click on "New page"

Once you have that, enter the new page's name, and select that you want to use a "File Cabinet". The File Cabinet type will let you upload files from your PC to their servers.

Now you can add new files, like I did here. Once a file is added, right click on view and select to copy the link location.

Once you have the image location, remove the last string from it:

So this:
Code: Select all

Downsides:
- Capitalization, Spacing, and non-standard characters don't work well.
- It's google.
- Total site size is 100 megs, which is not a lot.
- It's free.
- Because it's google, I have never seen it go down.
- Because the pages can be in hierarchies, you can manage different projects easily.
- You can Queue multiple files to be uploaded in a row
