ASC e-Portfolio: e-Portfolio Hosting Services

What to Do with Your E-portfolio

Here are some options for moving your portfolio once it is deleted from the Agnes Scott server. There are picture and video hosting options, free webhosting options, and paid webhosting options. There are also some general overviews to web hosting at the end if you have no idea where to start or what you should look for in hosting services. If you are still lost, feel free to stop by the Technology Production Studios (McCain G-43) with any questions that you have.

Note: Webhosting refers to the use of other server space for storing and managing your website on the internet. You get to choose your own domain name (ex: www.amazingpage.net) when you purchase your own web space. There are a lot of different ways to do this, but it varies between the different companies.

Note: Your portfolio is deleted the same time as your e-mail address, which is 6 months after you graduate.

Easy Options

• Burning all of your files on to a CD is a very easy option if you are not looking to keep it up on the web but want to keep that files and work that you have put into it. It is also easy if you want to reupload it to the web later. All of your files will still be together in the same place.

• If it is relatively low in size, you can zip all of your files and e-mail them to yourself. If you need help zipping files, click [here] or come to the TPS (McCain G-43) for help.

• Transfer all of your files to a jumpdrive. Works the same as a CD, but you don't have to waste another CD is you ever change the files.
