Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong place, seems sort of relevant as I’m looking to showcase a couple of my unity games/projects for use as my portfolio.
Does anyone have any recommendations where I can set up a portfolio website to showcase my games to employers etc.
I’m not at all in any way decent at web design so I’m not sure really what’s an ideal website to host unity web player games!
It doesn’t necessarily have to be free, I’m willing to pay for a domain name and whatever else is required to get my games online.
I would prefer one that’s reliable! (if its free), i tried out 000webhost, which was fine for a week or two then after getting the site set up and games online the website was shut down without any notice.
Their tech support was one of the fastest I have ever known.
I think the company has changed hands since I used them - but I imagine they kept the same people onboard.
As for domain names - www.123reg.co.uk are very cheap and very good - they have around 20 of my domains registered with them and they give you full control of DNS too! so you can move around to other hosts with ease!
You mean like upload your games to a website? Well http://www.wooglie.com Is a great place to do that. Send your game file to them and a description, wait for it to be approved and you can play it on the website. Also I know that creativecoding a guy on this forums has a space on his website where you can upload your games to. http://www.creativecodingstudios.com
I found a quick and dirty (but effective) way is to host the file on dropbox. All you have to do generate the web player file and then put both files in your public folder. You wont get a pretty interface but you can link straight to it on forums etc
You can use Weebly as well (not sure if you’ve found a solution yet, but figured I would pipe in).
Though if you are using it as a professional portfolio page, you may just want to pay for actual hosting at some point perhaps after you’ve seen some success. That’s the path I’m taking at any rate
What I do is create a hidden page and upload my .unity3d files as “File” uploads on that page. After that I get the raw link to these files… and then on a visible page, I add a “custom html” section and paste in the html code that unity generates. The only changes you have to make are to replace the links from a local file (search for your project name in the html file) with the raw link from weebly. Works like a charm.
