Tell me where I can host 2 million images with 100% predictable URL links
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I'm looking for a suggestion for an image hosting service that doesn't generate random strings in the URL.
Key Requirements:
- The URL must be 100% predictable
- The URL structure should be based on the image name
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In my opinion, this is a 5 minute job. You either already know the answer or you do not.
I am one of the world’s largest sellers of vintage postcards. In the last 15 years, I have uploaded 1.7 million images to INKFROG which is a site primarily used to create ebay listings. However, I was using it for image storage for 20 years.
This month that website made me convert to their new platform. The new platform does not work for me because I need 100% predictability of the URL image links when I upload image files. Now when I upload images they insert a random string of numbers and letters into the image URL, thus making it impossible for me to predict what the URL will be.
In the past, the format was always like this:
https://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/dekeuk/bf2468a.jpg
The first part https://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/dekeuk/ was always EXACTLY the same. That is what I need …. PREDICTABILITY.
The “dekeuk” was my username on the platform. The only part that changed was where you see “bf2468a.jpg” where the “bf” is the series of 9999 postcards in my inventory, and the “2468” was the card number in the “bf” series of cards. The letter “a” before “jpg” means it is a scan of the front side, and the letter “b” would be for the back side scan.
On my inventory, there would be a sticker “BF2468” to correspond to the file name. Using this system, in the past I could AUTOMATICALLY generate URL image links for eBay in my CSV upload files. Now it is impossible because they are inserting random text into the URL.
I need a solution that allows me to go back to the old way of doing things. What good and reliable image hosting company (or companies) will allow me to RAPIDLY upload 2 million images and have 100% predictable links, so that I do not have to go copy and paste 2 million URL links? The hosting fee should be $20 USD per month maximum or less.
With this job I am just paying you for information. If you successfully tell me the name of an image host that allows me to do what I need, then I guarantee that I will pay you in full.
