Hello, valued members of PimpAndHost,

For nearly two decades—since 2006—we’ve had the privilege of serving you with a completely free image hosting service. Over these 18 years, we've grown together, shared countless memories, and built something truly special. We're incredibly proud of what we've achieved, but as the years have gone by, so too have the costs and challenges of maintaining a top-tier platform that continues to meet your needs.

Today, we’re reaching out to ask for your support in ensuring that our site remains fast, reliable, and feature-rich for everyone. We believe that introducing optional Premium Plans will not only help us cover rising operational costs but also allow us to invest in new features, faster servers, and better customer support.

This is about coming together as a community to rise and support one another—to help us become even better for you.

We’ve always been more than just a file host. We’re not some big corporation looking to capitalize on our users. We’re simple people who share the same passions, values, and love for creativity as you do. From day one, we’ve prided ourselves on being a platform built by the community, for the community. Your voice has always mattered to us, and we’ve consistently listened to your feedback, implemented your ideas, and worked hard to create a space that reflects the needs and desires of our users.

Your opinion is, and always will be, the most important thing to us. Whether it’s through feature requests, bug reports, or general suggestions, we’re actively listening—and we always will be. That’s why we’re introducing these premium plans with the same spirit of collaboration and transparency. This isn’t about changing who we are; it’s about coming together as a community to lift each other up and help us grow stronger, faster, and more capable of providing the high-quality service you deserve.

Thank you for your feedback NJhard, for now we will work with "Crypto" payments as it is easier to implement at this point.

in the future we might implement more payment methods.

how about current uploads? for example accounts for 10+ years of uploading inside probably have bigger than 1 GB. Do they have to pay or you will remove the files?

Your current uploads remain untouched. Files already in your account won’t be removed. Moving forward, any new uploads that exceed the free storage limit will require a premium upgrade, in order to use the account as usual.

I wouldn't be averse to buying a premium account. However, since crypto is too risky for me, I will probably have to limit my activities here in the future.

I haven't uploaded anything today and there's already no space.
Total Upload Limit: 1.07 GB (0 B left)
Old pictures don't count?

pimp
03-05-2025, 08:44 AM
Your old images do count, we do not remove them but they are above the limit, for example your account now is at 9.34GB.

But I don't want to delete the old account.

We ask that you stick to one account, and the funds from our plans will go right back into making the site better for all of us—upgrading servers, adding cool features, and keeping the community thriving.

Hey SJ, Your uploads are still working as usual during our "grace period", so nothing will be deleted or removed. After this period, to continue uploading new content under the new limits, you can choose the plan that fits your needs best. If you upgrade, you'll enjoy all the perks of a premium account while keeping everything you already have. We appreciate your understanding as we transition and are here to help if you have any questions!

If you are above your limit, the account is there but you will not be able to load more images since its above the "free" limit that comes with 1GB only.

We did not change or delete anything ever, there is simply a limit of showing visibly 1000 albums, just change the sorting to oldest modified and you will see albums from year 2019, check this Link (https://pimpandhost.com/album/user/187135?page=9&per-page=64&sort=createTime)

Can we assume, to stay under the limit of our plan, that we can delete our older albums clearing up space to add new ones? I assume that is what many have done seeing that there are many accounts with thousands of ranking points and zero or little content.

As long as you are within the "Free Plan" limits nothing changes, you can keep using the site as is, no problem at all.

hello pimp

with respect for your bussiness - but please see our side:

i have posted over all the years thousends of " pimpandhost Links" (3GB+ pictures) in forums around the world. every picture was/is free advertising for your pimpandhost website.

now its impossible for me paying 8.33 every month.

are you plan a free "status quo" plan for file & picture sharing "workers" in to the future?

maybe the viewer/visitors should buy premium plans

Interesting - paid accounts get no timed delay for display of content. Not a bad idea. Kind of like those download servers where the premium accounts get the higher download speeds.

I'd support 1200 baud modem speeds for users that keep posting the same pics over and over and over and over.....or those that upload the really bad undress AI app pictures.

Sadly currently the views does not cover nearly enough, else we would never do this as we did not do it for almost 2 decades, it is not an easy move for us also, and as I explained before , we are not some big deep pockets organization, so sadly we need those funds to cover the servers and the developers who make this site into what it is, no one plans to buy yachts here, all we do is so you guys can keep using the site as it is.

This is what premium does :) Once you get ANY premium plan you will have no delays and you will see no ads. but maybe indeed its a good spot to also show an ad.

compromise: reduce all your plans to 50%,

from 0,00 to 100,00 (premium) per year is far too much

most of us are non or semi-professionnels and don't earn really money with pimpandhost pictures

at the moment most uf us must shuttered P&H - because this (current) too high prices.

maybe after a year testing (from both sides) you can make higher prices ..

i'm pretty sure you will have more, happy and loyalty premium members with this compromise.

and maybe find a way to earn money from viewers/leechers like all other filehosts

thanks for understanding

We are not looking to hurt anyone, all we want is to be able to keep the site fast and running, those prices came after much thinking and testing, and users mean the world to us, you look at it like 100/year but essentially its 27 cents a day :) with 20% off for yearly package. or 8$/month, we did make the prices to be really affordable for everyone, and while we could be 100% free that was always the case, you for example is a user of P&H since 2017, so you must know how dedicated we are to our community and we do our best to always keep everyone happy.

I Clearly understand my friend, and I wish we had other solutions, it took us 20 years to get to this point, we held the fort for as long as we could, trust me once we come up with smarter ways we will do all in our power to make sure we do the best and if we can lower anything it will be lowered, as I said, money was never the issue here, it was all done from pure heart and the love of what we created, profits were never a priority at P&H, all money we ever made was spent back on the site and keeping it fast and flawless, even at losing time all was covered from our own pockets, so you can trust me on this that our community happiness is our #1 priority and always has been. but this is our baby, we love it as you guys are, and difficult times demand certain adjustments and this is one of them, and I think after 20 years together, this is the time we as community need to support each other and do what is best even when times are bit tougher.

Just noticed that clicking on my own pics even takes 20 seconds loading time for them to appear, every single pic. My own page. Scrolling through my page has become VERY annoying! But this has become policy now, dus to these changes? If so, I don't think I will be hanging arouynd anymore. I understand things cant stay the same, serverspace, costs and all, but even to be limited on my own page, I think for me that would a bridge too far.
Again, if so...I most likely will cancel, too bad for all the effort and time I've put in to make it fun for others to visit, and it was somewhat wholesome even for me to be spending time on the page, working on it...on the other hand, me leaving would make more room for you guys on the server :p....
It was a fun ride while it lasted,....

I had no problem whatsover. Just with the very first click on a pic I needed to wait some moments and then I had that hour of free clicking on pics.
It is not just my own pics, on every other pic. Whenever the queue is finished and I click again to see the larger version, I always get queued again.
Thanks for looking into it.
