Portfolio Hosting
Host your portfolio on your domain
Build with Astro, Hugo, Next.js, or any framework. Push to Git. Your portfolio is live — at your domain, delivered globally, hosted in Europe.
The portfolio hosting problem
Behance owns your audience
Your work lives on someone else's domain, competing for attention in an algorithmic feed. Adobe controls the layout, the discovery, and the relationship with your visitors.
Squarespace constrains design
Template builders let you pick fonts and colors but not structure. Developers and designers end up fighting the template instead of expressing their craft. Starting at $16/month.
GitHub Pages misses the basics
Free and functional, but no branch previews, no password protection for draft portfolios, and hosted on US infrastructure. Only supports Jekyll natively.
How it works

✓ Build completed (3.8s)
✓ Deployed to janjansen.devPush to GitHub, GitLab, or Codeberg. Auto-detection handles the rest.
Live at your custom domain with TLS, CDN, and instant rollback.
Built for portfolios
Custom domains
Host at janjansen.dev or portfolio.yourname.com — not a platform subdomain. Free
TLS certificates included.
Git workflow
Push to deploy. Every commit triggers a build — your portfolio stays in sync with your repo automatically.
Preview deployments
Every branch gets its own preview URL. Test a redesign or new project page before it goes live.
EU-hosted & GDPR
Infrastructure in Paris (Scaleway). No US cloud providers. Relevant for EU-based freelancers and agencies.
Instant rollback
Pushed a broken update? Promote any previous deployment to production. One click, zero downtime.
Framework auto-detection
Astro, Hugo, Next.js, SvelteKit, Vite, Gatsby, Jekyll, or plain HTML. We detect your framework and set build defaults.

Common questions
Which frameworks can I use to build a portfolio on deploybase?
deploybase supports 8 frameworks with auto-detection: Astro, Hugo, Next.js (static export), SvelteKit (adapter-static), Vite, Gatsby, Jekyll, and plain HTML. Astro and Hugo are particularly popular for portfolios because of their fast build times and content-focused templating. You can also deploy any tool that outputs static files with a custom build command.
Can I use a custom domain for my portfolio?
Yes. All deploybase plans, including the free tier, support custom
domains with automatic TLS certificates. Point your domain (e.g., janjansen.dev or portfolio.yourname.com) at
deploybase, and we handle DNS verification, certificate provisioning,
and global CDN delivery.
How does deploybase compare to Behance or Dribbble for portfolios?
Behance and Dribbble are social platforms — they host your work alongside millions of others and control how it’s displayed. deploybase hosts your own portfolio site at your own domain, built with your choice of framework. You own the code, control the design, and aren’t competing for attention on someone else’s feed. The trade-off: you build the site yourself (or use an AI tool to generate it).
Is my portfolio hosted in the EU?
Yes. All deploybase infrastructure runs on European providers: Scaleway Paris for compute and storage, Bunny.net (EU-headquartered, Slovenia) for global CDN delivery. No data crosses the Atlantic. This makes deploybase suitable for professionals in EU-regulated industries who need verifiable data residency.
How much does it cost to host a portfolio?
The free plan includes 1 site, custom domain, 100 GB bandwidth, and 100 build minutes per month — more than enough for most portfolio sites. Paid plans start at €5/month if you need more sites or bandwidth. No per-seat fees and no overages, ever.
