Creating a Private Album is a good way to upload pictures you want to have online but don’t want people to see. The album is completely invisible to any visitors to the site and none of the images can be shared.

Step 1: To create a Private Album click “Add Album” from the main page of your Album.

Snapshot Host beta test launched

Saturday, March 4th, 2006

After a couple years of sitting on the domain and a built from scratch photo hosting site about 85% complete and not getting anymore work done on it. The decision was made to change the backend to Gallery 2. After a couple weeks of tweaks to the core install the beta test was launched today. A Demo Album was created to show all the different themes and color packs available. Basic accounts come with 20MB of storage space and the ability to hotlink to any site on the net. Unlike other hosting sites that lock down your images so they can’t be useful. Sign up today and see the difference Snapshot Host can make in your online photo sharing life!
