PORTFOLIO WEBSITE HOSTING FAQ
Portfolio Website Hosting Questions Answered
-
What types of portfolio websites can I host?Shared hosting can suit design, photography, illustration, writing, architecture and freelance service portfolios when their websites, storage, bandwidth and software requirements fit the selected plan.
-
How should I plan storage and bandwidth for images?Estimate the number and file size of portfolio images, galleries and downloads, then allow room for updates and backups. Optimize images and use modern formats so visual pages consume less storage and bandwidth.
-
Can I use my own domain name?Yes, a portfolio can use a custom domain. Keep domain ownership and renewal access under your control, and plan the website, email and verification DNS records before launch.
-
Can I build the portfolio with SiteJet or WordPress?The plans list WordPress support. SiteJet or another builder may depend on the control-panel configuration, so confirm current availability and export options before choosing a builder workflow.
-
Can I create branded email and a contact form?The plans list 5, 25 or 50 email accounts. You can configure contact forms with your website software, but test form security, spam controls, DNS and message delivery before publishing.
-
Is SSL included for a portfolio website?Each listed plan includes a free SSL certificate. Confirm coverage for the domains you will use, then redirect visitors to HTTPS and keep the website software and administrator access secure.
-
Should I upload videos directly or embed them?Large self-hosted video files can consume substantial storage and bandwidth. Embedding from a suitable video service may reduce hosting demand, subject to that service’s terms, privacy settings and your content rights.
-
When should I upgrade my portfolio hosting plan?Review an upgrade when you add websites, approach storage or bandwidth limits, need more mailboxes or FTP accounts, or see heavier traffic. Upgrade before a campaign, exhibition or media feature causes a large traffic increase.
