May I suggest you consider this as two separate problems:
1) A public site to host the photographs you include in forum posts and/or send to friends by a link in an e-mail.
2) Archival storage for your "out-of-camera" photo production.
With all its failings, PhotoBucket appears to me to be an adequate solution for (1). There certainly are others, Dropbox comes to mind.
As for (2); it very much depends on your requirements. In most cases, the best option will be operating your own server on an old salvaged desktop and pair of large hard drives (one attached to the computer, the other as a backup stored off-site).
