picinfinity.co
This is the one right here. Never worry about your image site going down again
Is it normal that it links to imgoat? Does it always?
You use the picfinfinity link, and picinfinity grabs one of the links it has for that image. Nothing is stored on picinfinity, it just keeps a memory of where it put everyone's images, and checks periodically to make sure they're still there. If not, it prioritizes another link to another image host.
This time it seems like imgoat was the first pick.
Never heard of it. I'll see what it is about right now. Thanks.
Our own made it
IMO having seen so many of these "solid" hosts come and go, picinfinity.co is the ONLY choice since it is not even a host, just points to multiple hosts that host the same image. So even if 1 or 2 hosts go down, the image is still there. And it can be updated if hosts go down with the latest "solid" host.
Edit - I'm not connected with picinfinity.co at all so no vested interest in it.
But it still is a single point at risk of failure. Granted, since it doesn't host, it is less likely to be forced to quit, it still is vulnerable to technical complications. And since the user doesn't know where Pic has stored the files, they are inaccessible to the user, practically lost. Given that, they are a step better than a single host.
If / when it takes off, then they need to setup more than one server in separate locations like piratebay or google etc.
