Sorry, thought you wanted a new web site where you can upload and host your own images.

I like PhotoBucket and ImageShack. Both have nice plug-ins for browsers.

Don't know what GooglePage used for security to keep your images from being viewed, but password and usernames can be set up on some sites that are free, some that allow it will let you CHMOD folders and files. Your best option for hosting images where you want them set to private is either PhotoBucket or WebShots.

You do know that they will transition your pages later?

From GooglePage:
QUOTE
If you are currently a Page Creator user, you can continue to use Page Creator and your pages will automatically be transitioned to Google Sites later this year. We are committed to making this transition as smooth and easy as possible, and we will post more details as we get closer to the transition time. You can also manually move your web pages from Page Creator to Google Sites or other service providers at any time.
