Crap on a Stick!

I have been using myphotoalbum.com to store and share my photos and videos for quite a few years.  It cost $20/year for unlimited storage, which I thought was pretty reasonable.  I had my photos grouped into different albums based on the subject matter of the photos, but decided I'd also like to organize them by date, since a lot didn't fit into a particular category.  I had let my account expire and had to renew it, which to my surprise, cost $30.  "Oh well"  I thought, I already have a ton of photos stored there, I'm not about to start over somewhere else.  So, about a month ago I finally finished uploading all of my photos ranging from 2002 until present day.  Needless to say, it took a long time to upload almost a decades worth of photos!  Not even two weeks later I received an email from the company stating they had to shut down their website because it was no longer cost effective to keep it running.  All of my photos and videos would be deleted.  I emailed asking if the money I just paid to renew my account would be refunded and, unsurprisingly, did not receive a response.  Crap on a stick!!!

So, my question to you is, what website do you use to store, order, and share your photos and videos??  Your feedback is GREATLY appreciated!

I use snapfish.com It's free to use and store as many photos/videos as you want. It's also nice, because if I want to make a photo project (calendars at Christmas etc) they are all there and I can pick & chose what I want for the project.

I think Snapfish is the site I've used for my Christmas cards the past couple years, so I was leaning towards that one. :)
