Ok, having your own domain and hosting is cool, but I wonder if I can really make good money of those pics. Considering if I have 15,000 pics, I don't really loose anything on freehosts do i? But if I don't convert good with those pics on my own host then I'll loose money. Anyways it was just a stupid idea, no one wants to use a freehost :-)
That brings up another question: Who uses the freehosts if you don't give licenses? Guys who use illegal content? Then why do you list them :-)

If I'm understanding your comments.. you said you don't want to use freesites.. You do understand that freehosts and freesites are two different things right?
You also said "Considering if I have 15,000 pics, I don't really loose anything on freehosts do i? "
Yes, what you loose on freehosts is sales, you loose sales to the banners they run. You also loose any search engine traffic you get from these sites, it goes straight to them long after you stop hosting with them.
With freehosts, there's no real investment return for the time you spend.
Now some knowledgable people use freehosts for tgp, but as Ramster said most won't accept them anymore.
These days hosting is so cheap there is no need for freehosts. Freehosts make their money off newbies that are afraid to get into the business by spending a very small amount of money.
Freehosts are ok to get your feet wet, and learn html, but I wouldn't suggest using them for any length of time.
