I haven't tried it, but FotoTime has a sell-for-you service. You set
the price, they collect it, subtract the usual printing and postage
costs, and send you the remainder in $25.00 increments, I think I
remember.

FotoTime is like $2.00 per month for each 10GB, payable yearly in
advance, 30-day free trial.

I have seven thousand images there, have experience essentially no
downtime, and the technical service is rapid and competent.
