Portfolio hosting for designers, at your own address

For designers who already have the files

Most portfolio advice is about what to put in one. This page assumes you solved that. You have a folder — HTML, CSS, images, maybe a script — and what you need is an address you can put in an email signature.

Drag the folder in. Pick your subdomain. Done.

What you get

An address with your name in it

yourname.sofast.host, not a generated string. Connect your own domain whenever you are ready.

HTTPS from the first second

The padlock is on. Nothing to configure, nothing to renew.

Updates that do not break your links

Finished a new project? Upload the new version. Same address. Every link you already sent now shows the new work.

A site that stays

Not a preview that expires in an hour. Your address is reserved to you for as long as your account is open.

Why a real site beats a platform profile

Behance, Dribbble and Instagram are good for being discovered. They are less good for being evaluated.

Your layout, not theirs. A portfolio on someone else’s platform is your work inside their grid, their typography, their crop. For a designer that is a strange thing to accept.

Nothing competing for attention. No suggested profiles in the sidebar, no algorithm pulling the viewer somewhere else at the moment they are considering you.

An address you keep. Platforms change their layouts, their rules and occasionally their existence. A domain you own outlives all of that.

Use both. Post on the platform, link to the site.

If your portfolio came out of an AI tool

Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Lovable all produce static HTML and CSS — exactly what this hosts. The part that differs is getting the files out, and each tool handles that differently.

Before you send the link

Four things worth two minutes each.

Open it on your phone. Most people who click a portfolio link are on a phone. Check it there before anyone else does.

Check the link preview. Pasted into LinkedIn or a message, your link should show an image and a title rather than a grey rectangle. Fix your link preview →

Add a favicon. The tiny icon in the browser tab. Its absence is a small signal that reads as unfinished, particularly to other designers.

Make sure your images arrived. If anything shows as a broken icon, a file was left out of the upload. What to check →

Common questions

Do I need a custom domain?

Not to start. Your sofast subdomain is a real, permanent address and it works fine for sharing. A custom domain is included from Starter, for the day a client or an employer is about to see it.

Can I update it after sending the link?

Yes, and this is the main reason to use a link rather than a PDF. Upload the new version and everyone holding the old link sees the update.

How big can my portfolio be?

Storage depends on your plan. As a practical matter, compress large images before uploading — a portfolio full of uncompressed photographs is slow to open on mobile data no matter who hosts it.

Can I password-protect it?

Not at launch. If you need parts of your work private, keep those pages out of the upload and share them separately.

Can I host more than one portfolio?

Yes, on Pro, which covers up to 10 sites. Free and Starter cover one site each. Some designers run one general site and a second one aimed at a particular kind of client or role.

What if I want to move it later?

Download your files from the dashboard and take them anywhere. Same folder you uploaded, no proprietary format, no export fee.
