ImageShack is a subscription-based web hosting company for online media. This site is available all over the world to any person who subscribed. As of 2006, ImageShack was receiving over 100,000 user requests and, likely, a much larger user subscription status considering the benefits of utilizing its host abilities across many online platforms. Users upload their media within specific size and file format parameters based on ImageShack rules. The uploaded media is either stored on ImageShack or used as a source to share photos and videos, including the use of their media on other Websites. Once uploaded, users are able to access URL links, which are used as hotlinks on other Websites and message boards. The user may also specify if their media is preferred to be private or public, similar to standard social media. The basic membership starts at $3.99 a month with the following package: unlimited space, direct linking, and image statistics. However, ImageShack offers a free 30-day trial to allow potential users an idea of how the system works and whether it will work for them.
Founded in November of 2003 by Alexander and Jack Levin, this company is based in Los Gatos, California as a for-profit and private company. ImageShack is the parent company, utilizing about $10 million in total funding and with a maximum of approximately 50 employees. The success of ImageShack paved the way for the company to become developers to several additional Websites and applications, including Yfrog and SkyPath. Yfrog is similar to ImageShack in that it allows users to share images and videos. However, Yfrog is considered social media rather than web hosting for the media. SkyPath is an application that allows users to sync their photo library to PhotoShack. All of this was made possible through the innovative and creative thought process in building their API, the Application Programming Interface. This allows both developers as well as users to adjust and customize to their needs.
