Website Image Hosting Question

[fighter5]

Hi, I've had a website on angelfire for more than 10 years, my file storage limit on angelfire is practically nothing. Around 20MB or so. I did not have the space to store my images on angelfire correctly, so I used photobucket. Now, photobucket has turned into ransom-ware, wanting $30 a month or more for image hosting which I'm unwilling to pay.

I started a similar website here at x10hosting awhile back that use some of the same images that I use on the angelfire site... My question is, can I hotlink my x10hosting images to angelfire if I'm also using the images for x10?

Another option would be to move the angelfire site onto x10 and merge it with my current website which might become superfluous or confusing to most visitors, also I would be losing a web address that I've had for more than 10 years which is scary...

Yet another option would be to find a new image hosting site, which I attempted tonight with no luck, I require free hosting, around 2GB free space, and the ability to create folders and keep existing filenames for images.

I wanted to ask before doing anything because I didn't want to break any rules.

If the images are part of your site on x10, you're free to hyperlink them as you see fit since they're still part of your site, just being used elsewhere. You may need to edit your "hotlinking protection" settings in cPanel though, as if misconfigured the hotlinked images may fail to load properly (hotlinking protection is designed to prevent bandwidth from being stolen from unscrupulous third-party sites linking to the images - good in theory, not always in practice).

Alternatively, if you could live with the filenames changing and needing updates you might be able to run it through Imgur; haven't done it personally, but I know a lot of folks who make mods for TableTop Simulator use them as their image hosts for things like board and card images
