Hello, Here I am to present my Free Imagehosting website which is Aedes.us
Link : http://www.aedes.us

The Site uses Chevereto 2.x.x Modded a lil by me. the max upload size its 2mb.
The site is stable, very High Uptime, and good Alexa rank. (actually 88k).
The Site is 13 months old, and has like 100k images on 12 different folders.
The actual folder is /b/ so your image will be like below.
Its on a *Gbit Shared Server and the DNS's are under Cloudflare.
There is the first 10 days under cloudflare network protection
http://www.aedes.us/b/lJKvt.jpg
I allow all kind of Images to be uploaded, all exept child porn, animal porn and insistent porn images from chinese websites hosted in usa, which i costantly delete. and ban they sites.)
The only country that is blocked from visiting my site is china.

The Website Dont have annoying banners or advertisements at all. (for that reason i need some help also, to monetize the site without making it ugly with loads of ads/banners).

The site have 2 addons (for firefox and chrome) for remote uploading with right click (perfectly working). Im looking for a desktop uploader application.

Please review my site. all the feedbacks (good and bad with be accepted).​

U should change the favicon.ico with your logo, that blue arrow looks good.

ok, you have some traffic, and lots of bandwidth eated, but I don't see any ads, how do you think this is going to survive when it will become more popular, more costs and you are earning almost nothing from it ?!
 
Service is fast and good but you need to find a money makin' method if you want to stay alive.

2 things:

1. A new favicon
2. A new design

Looks good. A couple of SEO tips. You have no H1 heading. Do a 301 direct to combine your 2 domains. The "naked" domain and the www. Your website resides at both URL's currently.
 
Yes, Exactly as EL-Warez said :)
Also, thanks for the Good Reviews and Tips to make my site even better :)
Thank you :D

@GlobeGenius => I do have H1 Headings, also there is a 301 ridirection from aedes.us to www.aedes.us, check please (its there from the beginning, if you write aedes.us the site loads directly with www) :D
 
I did a quick check again but could not pull a quick report. Servers are doing strange things for me. What kind of a redirect do you have? You should make it permanent and not temporary. Do not mask the redirect it as it can stop robots from being able to crawl it. Still showed H1 header missing. I will check it again in a bit. I have the same issue with one of my own blogs. Been a nightmare to get a proper redirect on it.
 
Hello,

what happen to all the images hosted on your servers. With Zoom it no longer uploads images. You guys were great but now images are lost?

Please come back online!


Best regards,

Well his site was hosted on some Italian shared.
Being an image host with hotlink allowed, it uses lots of resources. Host might have noticed that and force him to pay another price, higher then shared hosting.
He couldn't continue, considering its not earning anything or almost anything.

This is just a scenario, might be wrong
 
Hi all, the scenario isnt really that.
This is how was:
The host didnt suspended my account cuz of the intensive use (millions of hits monthly and 30-40TB traffic), they suspended me cuz, when i bought the domain, they wanted the domain transfered to them, that was fine till aedes.us was highter than 100k on alexa, but when was lower than 80k the problems was clear, I couldnt act to remove/delete/block IP/countries from accessing the site, so I trasfered the domain to gandi.net, where i have more domains, so i could easly manage the dns's.
After 3 months, they noticed the change, and they automatically suspended and deleted my account, all the files, the script, everything (i didnt had the backup cuz it was nearly 15GB of files, and the last backup was uploaded to megaupload -.-' ).
They said me that if I was changing the domain registrar, from them to an other, automatically they had the right to suspend and delete my account/files without warning...and that was writen on their ToS (which i didnt read carefully).

So here is the explanation of that big issue. Im not going to open aedes.us anymore, not cuz it was a failure or was expensive (Cuz I was spending less than 40 euro yearly), but just cuz I got bored of dmca reports, bored cuz i wasnt able to monetize my site.

Thanks all folks.
