Default backing up photos

Hi! I aplogize if this is under the wrong category. I'm pretty computer illiterate. lol I think my computer is fixing to crash again and I was wondering if there was a website that I could store all of my photos that are on my hard drive. I need an external harddrive or something but can't afford it right now and I've tried saving them to a CD but the CD only holds just a few at a time and I only have a few CD's.
Thanks so much in advance.

Not only do they limit photos but they limit size (they scale them down).

Just buy a 250GB Western Digital MyBook - it can run on USB 2.0 or Firewire 400/800 for like 200 bucks (tax included) - it's perfect for storing your pictures you can use windows's command prompt to format it into NTFS - only takes a second (you can google how to do it). Then just drop pictures on it as a MSD (mass storage device) - doesn't need an OS or anything...

If you have over 250GB (or I think it'll read 233GB if it's formatted in NTFS, but that's irrelevant), of photos, then obviously you can step it up - the 500gb isn't much more...that should be more than enough...

I had a My world 2 terrabyte terra station and i took the drives out and put them in my server , works well, but you said you cant afford it , so your best bet would be to put them to photobucket
