Portfolio Domains?
What are some good places to set up a portfolio online? I know CG Society (or CG total, or whichever it is) has portfolio pages, but what would be some other options for setting one up?

Had a feeling making my own site would be the best way to go, for the obvious reasons
Are there any decent free domains? Any recommendations on how to set it up? I have pretty limited experience with HTML, and none whatsoever with CSS/Java/Flash/all that stuff. But suppose I could learn a bit.. Could use a new adventure anyways

The portfolio site i'm using is free, but you can link your domain to it (plus other features) for $60 a year.
I need a new url tho.
was thinking about www.dominicedwards3d.com or www.dominic3dwards.com but decided the later was a bit naff.
on godaddy they cost about $8 for a year.

dom: the latter isnt great.
it is funny though, I read your name as domi-niced-wards.
I have an intern where if you write his name without spaces you see "naked" in the middle of it.
that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"
Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

Although they do make things fairly simple...
If you need a free host I used to use 50webs.com, although now I self host (somewhat unreliably) so I can use PHP without having to pay anything for the hosting.

Nope, it means if a few people go on it it will crash xDdoes that mean you've a server computer sitting at home and if lots of people go then it'll crash?
Although considering bandwidth limits then I'm not sure many people could go on my website at the same time...
I'm not sure what you mean by server computer. It's a server computer in that it's a computer I use as a server but it's not specifically designed to be a server.

Is it me or did everyone go to your website at once and it crashed? Website is down
I'm really curious what my average downtime is, it could well be over 50%...

Nowadays it doesn't cost that much money to buy a domain and hosting it.
furthermore it's smart to put showreels on Vimeo/Youtube ( maybe even create your own channel).
If you want to get a job I suggest you find the company you want to work and send them your reel, because unless you are extremely good at what you do posting images on fora like this ( or CG talk for that matter) won't get picked up or seen...
