I think Yahoo Photos is being closed down in favour of Flickr, I’m not too sure though.
Imageshack is my personal favorite.

Mjuboy,
You are right, Yahoo Photos is being closed down. I have written about it in the post also.

Good List! DivShare is also providing image hosting with gallery support. The best think I like about them is they don’t have much annoying ads!!!

You have posted nice list nirmal but i think now competition is getting tough everyday , new site like shareapic , which pays their users om CPM rates when thier uploaded pic hasbeen seen . Many Indians and other country users are uploading 100 pic daily on them .

no one has mentioned http://www.imagebin.eu/ , really fast to upload images!
May 30th, 2007 at 11:28 pm
Dave, as said service is fast enough. But I hate “hosted on ImageBin.eu” on every image that i host.
May 31st, 2007 at 10:07 am
Dave,
People will be reluctant to add photos when there is something like this.
Imagebin.eu is really fast, but it showing “Hosted on Imagebin.eu” on the photos.
