Dear Juse,
There are a number of options out there for hosting, the Collections Trust have a page with some good resources here:
http://www.collectionstrust.org.uk/spectrum/spectrum-dam-resources
I know some vendors of DAM software will also host your images, ResourceSpace will and I think Extensis may, I'm sure others would too.
Best regards

Subject: [MCG] Host Providers for Online Images - companies?
Host Providers for Online Images - do you use a commercial 3rd party supplier?
Hello all.
We're researching options for outsourcing the hosting of our online collection images.
Cloud options like Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure are ones we know about and will no doubt investigate, but I wondered whether any of your institutions are doing similar with other commercial host providers?
We currently host our images within our Government system, which is okay but issues of cost and firewall flexibility increasingly come to the fore. Time to change perhaps...
Any provider names or experiences much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jude.
