JPG

JPG is an awesome, community-driven photography magazine. You can submit photos for publication. It truly is user-created because the editors select the best photos, based partly on an algorithm that factors in page views, votes, and comments. From the site:

JPG Magazine is for people who love imagemaking without attitude. It's about the kind of photography you get when you love the moment more than the camera. It's for photographers who, like us, have found themselves online, sharing their work, and would like to see that work in print.

JPG is a magazine. It's published 6 times a year by 8020 Publishing and distributed nationally. You can pick up a subscription or find it in US bookstores like Borders and Barnes and Noble. Everything in the magazine comes from you!

JPG is a website. Here any photographer can join and upload photos and stories to their member page. You can also submit your work for consideration in the magazine.

JPG is a community. JPG exists because of, and exclusively for, photographers like you. Without you, we're nothing.

SmugMug looks interesting, but I have not tried them yet.

myPhotoPipe does not seem to cater to consumers. To be fair, they cast themselves as the online lab for professionals.
