 | View Full Version : Web Host Images BoOmEr2120 06-15-2002, 05:44 PM Hello, I have noticed that some web hosts have images of computers, servers, and other related things on their web sites. I would like to know where these images could be found. ScottD 06-15-2002, 05:48 PM Check out www.gettyimages.com, excellent selection of great images and the prices aren't bad.

There is nothing wrong with doing this unless they say "Oh the picture over there is one of our servers" and when in fact, it is not. Many hosts cant find a picture of thier rack so they just take another. I think it is ok to do this as they usually aint tryin to sell you the service through the picture, but rather make thier site look cool.

Well, I guess if they/you are just a rackshack host sure they/you can't find a picture of THEIR/your rack because they/you don't own one. If you have your own racks, take a picture of yours, all of those stock photos look so stock that anyone with a good eye can see it. RotoHost 06-16-2002, 11:49 AM Check out www.arttoday.com. Not as big as some others but pretty useful. KDAWebServices 06-17-2002, 07:16 AM Originally posted by Axel Teflon Go to www.google.com and search for images.
