AlbumTown is an image host hosting service founded by Rohit Jenveja in the Fall of 2000 with features that emphasize two core values which, according to AlbumTown, are at the heart of the service: ease of use and speed.

Perhaps what makes AlbumTown unique amid hundreds of photo sharing services, is there careful integration of AJAX for premium users. Becoming one of the first photo hosts to integrate AJAX, was one move that arguably attibuted to the overwhelming support from the blogging community.

AlbumTown is free, but also has incentives to encourage "power users" to upgrade. These features include priority support, additional space, and access to exclusive features.


The site has features that are geared towards amateurs and professionals alike. Amateur photographers are able to use AlbumTown to store personal photos with options to set photos private or public, allow comments, and contact friends.

Professional photographers can use AlbumTown's special purpose accounts to increase online sales. For example, AlbumTown works seamlessly with eBay to assist eBay sellers. Ebay sellers can upload auction photos and AlbumTown will automatically retrieve information from eBay regarding the product, including up-to-date pricing and shipping information. The AlbumTown special purpose account enables sellers to create a brandable homepage in which they can attract potential customers. The special purpose accounts have been used by thousands and have been mentioned in several noteworthy trade publications for eBay sellers.

AlbumTown is a private held limited liability corporation.
