Frustration

I've been working on getting a place to store pictures that I take while I'm in Italy. It's been really frustrating so far. All I really want is to find a place that I can upload files easily, and where I can store some basic stuff. I was going to buy my own domain name so that I could get this without ads or having to link to some photo browse page, like a yahoo photos page or something, but so far no luck. I wish I could find a really good image hoster that would not charge me, or a free / cheap website hoster that wouldn't put ads on the site...
