I agree with this idea. And I also agree that hosting doesn't have to
be expensive. I pay less than 4 dollars a month for my hosting (paid
annually) from a company called TotalChoiceHosting.com. I highly
recommend them, especially for hosting something simple like a writing
portfolio site.
If you are interested in more information, you're welcome to contact
