If you want to register a domain. You can just use the IP number to the sever. Exam. 75.89.223.114 is the static IP for my WWW sever. Enter it into the URL; then CairoNet.com home page will open. Or,
http://75.89.223.114/banana/NewBananas-10072016JPG.JPG. Registered Domain not required. However, I think registration through Go Daddy and possibly others is less ($6 to $10 per year).

Usually, the sever run continuously, but it really doesn't have to.

Photobucket hosting without 3rd party linking starts at $5.99/month; with 3rd party linking, $39.99/ month. However, there are still other free photo hosting services; but how long?
I just offered the suggestion of a private web sever as an option. This is a means to keep photos & files under your control without possibly giving away copyrights & ownership to the hosting service. ... Those are good points tho.
