Best Photo Webitsite

[YodaBalboa]

This is my first post and I am very new to this wonderful site! I am curious if anyone has any suggestion to the best website to used to show friends/family my photos. I'm asking because I have noticed some site say in the fine print that they can use your pics as they see fit and not all let you retain your rights to the shots. I'm not a professional by any means but I am trying to get into photography and thought this would be a good way to get my shots "out there". Thanks to all who reply with suggestions!

I like PBASE, but a quick search on the topic will reveal several other choices that others like.

Flickr would work very well for you, if you're only interested in sharing photos with family and friends. If you want them to be public for anyone to see, you can make them all public, or you can set them to family & friends only (or a combo of the two - some public, some F&F only).

Hope this helps.

One of the new sites around is Snapixel (link in my signature). If you have dPS account you can get a Pro account free if you use your dPS name.

Why I didn't chose to use Photobucket:

Proprietary Rights in Content on Photobucket.

Photobucket and/or other Users may copy, print or display publicly available Content outside of the Photobucket Services, including without limitation, via the Site or third party websites or applications (for example, services allowing Users to order prints of Content or t-shirts and similar items containing Content).

Yes Thank you Susan! This is what I have been worried about. I'm assuming since many of you have Flickr this is the one I should be using?

Personally, I can't stan Flickr, though I do have an account there. It has just never grown on me.
