When I upload a file for web viewing, I resize it to about 800 pixels wide (or smaller) and I save it as a JPEG at a quality/compression level of about 60-70%. This brings most images down to about 100-200 kb. Very small file size.
As for putting them on your server, do you have a control panel for your site? I don't know anything about Blu Domain, but the host companies that I've had, all have a control panel that I can use to access all the site's files & folders.
If so, just go onto that and create a folder in the public access area (I called my folder 'host').
Then I just upload the web ready images to that folder using either the control panel or an FTP program. Then I just copy the URL of the images and paste that into forum threads.
