Is there a site that will host full size images

Flickr seems to only allow 1024x768, or am I missing something?

I assume I may need to pay for this priviledge

Really? Flickr let me upload some 2816x2112 (6MP) images using their uploader app for MacOS. I just had to select an option to not resize images. This was just using the free flickr account. The Windows uploader app also has a "never resize" option.

OK thanks - I will look for that option!

OK I downloaded the uploader, and set it to never resize. However, the largest size I can find on flickr is still 1024x768.

When I select one of my "never resized" images and select the "all sizes" button, it shows me "square", "thumbnail", "small", "medium", "large" and "original". For the photos where I let flickr resize the image the "original" size is the resized size (e.g. 1280x960), but for the photos where I told flickr to not resize, the "original" size is the camera resolution. Here's an example:

Just out of curiosity -- the reason for wanting full-sized image hosting is for file transfer, not for image display, right? (Nobody has 3Mx2M screens - ?)

In my case it was for archival purposes. I was traveling and wanted a backup of the originals. Once I was back home and could archive photos normally, I only uploaded ~1MP images.

PicasaWeb from Google will let you do this for free with limited storage (more storage at a cost)

smugmug.com is a great photo hosting service created by a photographer for amateur photographers. They let you do full size stuff as well as access control including who can access which resolutions. It's not free ($60/yr), but it's excellent for storing lots of photos.
