Since a PortfolioDIY export is plain static files, nearly anything with a web server can host it. The real question is which workflow suits you.

GitHub Pages is the developer default. It's free, the yourusername.github.io address is itself a small credential, and having your portfolio in a repo means your commit history documents your work. The costs: deploys go through git, and custom-domain HTTPS setup is a little more manual than the alternatives.

Netlify, Vercel, and Cloudflare Pages compete to be the easiest, and it shows — drag the export folder onto their dashboard and you're live with HTTPS and a CDN in under a minute. Free tiers cover a portfolio's traffic hundreds of times over. If you don't care about the git workflow, these are the least friction per dollar (the dollar being zero).

The $3/month cPanel shared host sounds like the odd one out, but it matters: it proves the export owes nothing to modern platform tooling. FTP the files into public_html and it works — the export even ships an .htaccess tuned for it. This is the option that ages best over decades, and portfolios should be measured in decades.

Our simple advice: developers may like GitHub Pages because it fits the repo workflow. Everyone else may prefer Netlify or Cloudflare Pages because drag-and-drop deploys are quick. If you want a custom domain, point it at the host you choose.
