Hey I wanted to ask wich plan should worth to take because I'm a videographer & photographer and I need portfolio website but maybe I would like sell something online as well.

Hey , thanks for the question! Love that combo, photo + video makes for a really nice portfolio 📸

Honestly, I'd keep it simple to start: the Website Builder with one of the photography templates. You can get a clean, good-looking portfolio up pretty fast without touching any code: Photography templates

A couple of tips from experience:
- Videos: upload them to YouTube or Vimeo and embed them on your site. It keeps your pages fast and you don't eat up storage
- Selling later: you don't need to decide that now. Selling prints, presets or booking sessions works through an Ecommerce subscription you can add whenever you're ready, and you can upgrade your plan later too: Ecommerce overview

If you'd rather have full control and don't mind WordPress, WordPress + WooCommerce is the other route, just a bit more hands-on :roobla:

What would you be selling, digital stuff like presets or physical prints? And if you go for it, you can try BLACKFRIDAYDISCORD at checkout

Oh that reference is sick, the colours and motion really fit a creative portfolio 🔥

For that kind of vibe I'd start with the Website Builder and a portfolio template. It already has animations built in (fades, slides, hover effects, even shimmer text), so you can get something pretty lively without touching code: Animations guide
If you want it fully custom later, there's also agentic mode where you describe what you want (you can even drop in screenshots of sites you like), just keep in mind every change uses AI credits.

On Premium vs Unlimited: for one portfolio, Premium honestly does the job. I'd only go Unlimited if you're planning to sell soon, since you get daily backups, double the AI credits and more storage. And if you start with Premium you can always upgrade later, everything moves over on its own.

And love that you want to work with us! If you're growing an audience, the Affiliate Program is a good start. For video/animation work, I'd send your portfolio through the Contact page once the site's live, and peek at Careers now and then too.

Share the site here when it's up, I'd love to see what you make!

Thanks so much for the helpful advice! I really appreciate it. 🙏

Quick question: as an 18-year-old freelance creator without a registered company, should I use my personal name or “Ignuxaz Media” in the Hostinger Affiliate Program sign-up form? My professional Instagram is .media.

I’ve also sent Justina a LinkedIn request and hope to connect with her soon. Thanks again, appreciate it ❤️
