Upgrade to Premium: Elevate Your Experience!
 
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.

would def be interested in upgrading. would we be permitted more posts. And how would payment be made? Paypal i hope? Thanks for the great work only site ever need

pimp 03-03-2025 01:48 PM

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.

AI_guy 03-03-2025 05:24 PM

I've never used cryptocurrencies so I guess I better learn! I hope it is easy!

AI_guy 03-03-2025 05:28 PM

I also like the idea of larger file sizes, especially for gifs - the quality will definitely improve!

jackbeam69 03-03-2025 05:44 PM

Very cool! I'm fine with the free plan for now but now I have the option to upgrade if need be.

apranax 03-03-2025 08:12 PM

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.

haylin.sierrah 03-04-2025 03:02 PM

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.

We will find out solution for everyone, do not worry, for our old-school users we might have some custom solutions.

lol I would not go that far ;) I am not sure yet what kind of solution we will have, but we will do our best to find resolution that will work for you guys.

aleksandrlegionf 03-05-2025 08:38 AM

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.

aleksandrlegionf 03-05-2025 09:31 AM

Got it, can I create a new account and buy premium from it?
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.

When you enter your account, on albums tab there is (i) information icon, hover it with your mouse and you will see:

agreed from my point. any alternatives will be appreciated

slimjim 03-06-2025 07:40 AM

I already have well over 10Gb storage so what happens now under the "Free Plan"

What happens to what I already have stored and what are my daily limits going forward ?

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!

slimjim 03-06-2025 08:22 AM

OK - So what happens if I want to stay on the Free Plan?

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.

slimjim 03-06-2025 08:36 AM

Oh dear. It looks like I will need to find an alternative then.

Please see DM.

sweetnslow22 03-06-2025 10:19 AM

It looks like my posts only go back two years and the rest are gone? If not, how to access them? This is just a hobby for me so not the right platform I can participate in going forward.

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

AI_guy 03-06-2025 03:04 PM

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.

slimjim 03-06-2025 03:09 PM

Hi Pimp. I've been trying to reply but not sure if you have recieved.

I am not sure what many are doing but yes as long as you are under free limit, then no problem. you can keep using the site as is.

AI_guy 03-06-2025 03:34 PM

Do images uploaded in posts count toward the limit as well?

hy_here 03-06-2025 11:32 PM

Does one have to take a plan, as in if I'm in the "old free" plan can I stay in it or do I have to "sign" up for the new free plan?

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

No they do not at this point, so no problem in posting ;)

jorge45 03-07-2025 04:13 PM

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

yes. good point. webmaster should have another option.

complicatedbutlovable 03-08-2025 04:37 PM

I would pay for the upgrade but I don't do crypto.

jorge45 03-08-2025 07:51 PM

by the way

there many exclusive & rare porn pictures only at pimpandhost

at the moment people must wait 20 seconds for seeing every single picture

thats the ideal point to offer a premium membership

never charge content uploader

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.
