In your opinion...

What are the best websites to host an online portfolio?

i would like to know your what you think is the best paid? and the best free?

So far, i'm looking at the new DeviantArt Premium Portfolio, and also Portfoliobox for the paid options

and then i'm looking at wordpress.com/tumblr for the free options. Cant really find much else.

I agree with kinkhab, fotoblur is very good,also 1x is a real test of your photography as it is very hard to get published due to extreme scrutiny of all submitted images,,,be prepared to have your ego tested!

@sircharleswatson .... Are you looking for a place to store and show your photos or a place to market your photos?

i use a combination of viewbook (to hold my portfolio etc) and tumblr for great seo so i can actually be found. the tumblr blog is then integrated so it works out well for me

Have you checked out SmugMug.com. It is a paid site, but they have different levels you can purchase and you have a huge amount of control over configuration and look and feel. I really like it.

I've been a Flickr user for several years, but there's practically no control over the presentation of your photos. It's sad really, as Yahoo has kinda dropped the ball in that regard. It could really be so much more. d:¬{|

G'day Charles, I use VistaPrint: http://www.inportphotographybydennisg.com/. Easy to set up and very reasonably priced. Good luck. GB D!

Luc is correct that you'll be most satisfied with something you set up yourself. You should be able to get reasonably priced hosting, which you can setup Wordpress or Jumla (or another free CMS) and start with a free template. Once you get the feel for how things work, you can modify your template or purchase one more geared for an online photography portfolio. d:¬{D
