- Not to be confused with Kephost.hu.
Kephost.com is a Hungarian image sharing service. People can easily upload files from their computers with a few clicks, and then paste the URLs of the images (or their pages) wherever they want. Users can also choose a category to upload to, and even create an account for themselves. Pictures can be commented on through the embedded Facebook comment module.
The service started in 2008. Based on calculations considering the alphabet and the last given IDs (see below), a total of ~1.5 million pictures may be hosted as of December 2014 (but the method of the calculation can be wrong).
Vital signs
Technical issues
Seems okay.
Administrator activity
No information available.
Financial status
No information available. Entity behind the site is unknown. Privacy policy mentions picgro.com as the maintainer, but the site redirects to kephost.com.
The company hosting kephost.com (teracom.hu) is okay.
Site structure
Uploaded images can be public, and also probably private (this function needs registration). Only some of all present images are shown in the image browser – probably those are the public ones? Also, a lot of older pictures are not shown any more on the end of the image browser. Finally, oldest (by alphabet) pictures are like one years old – they delete old pictures and reuse IDs?
Images are given a page whose URL is http://www.kephost.com/image/<ID> where <ID> seems to be an incrementing base-62 number (alphabet A..Z, 0..9, a..z (in this order (?)), starting with one character). The location of the actual image is http://kephost.com/images/<YYYY>/<MM>/<DD>/<FILENAME>.<EXT> where YYYY-MM-DD is the date the file was uploaded, FILENAME is the same as the user's file had on their computer, <EXT> is its extension. This original version is always linked in with an <a> tag, as the download link. A thumbnail version is also generated for every picture, alhough not shown; its filename is postfixed with .th, like <FILENAME>.th.<EXT>. Finally, if the image is large enough, an .md (medium) version is also generated (filename extended with .md), and in this case this version, otherwise the original one is shown on the page (with an <img> tag).
Bottom line: the original file and – if exists – the medium sized version can be grabbed with recursive (+1 level) mirroring including page requisites, but the thumbnail version needs to be fetched separately, manually (knowing the filename).
Archiving
The Wayback Machine doesn't archive the site properly.
