Storing Your Photos Online
BBC News takes a look at the increasing number of companies that are offering storage of digital photos on the internet:
“Marcus Hawkins, editor of Digital Camera magazine, said: “As file sizes of pictures increase, storage becomes a problem. People are using their hard drives, backing up on CD and DVD and now they are using online storage solutions. They are a place to store pictures, to share their pictures with families and friends and they can print out their photos.”

Web service plans are getting cheaper. I recently signed on for 1gb of storage and 40gb monthly transfer at $7.95 a month (about $120 a year, with domain name)*.
That seems like a fairly inexpensive option for posting large size images.
FWIW, I've also been playing with:
1) the "zoomify" tool, for panning and zooming large images on-line.
and
2) some PHP code to cycle pictures so that they can be offerred in full size, but only a few per day.
The both seem like possible solutions.
