				should I use a domain or should I just use tumblr
			 I'm finally starting to get off my ass and doing some work.  I'm selecting some photos for an online portfolio and I'm not sure if I should renew an domain or just go with something like tumblr. Or is there a better suggestion?

 The Internet is pretty much dying and I do NOT intend to make a "pay site" or go about "blogging" everyday. It's just an easy way of giving someone a place to go when they want to look at my work.

				 | Own domain is better. If you can't afford that then... If you are doing adult sooner or later tumblr will ban you. Not worth it. |

 15 bucks for a domain and 60 bucks a year for hosting. Someone would have to be homeless or living in a 3rd world nation to not be able to afford that.

 See I'm not convinced that keeping a domain is the best course of action. I'm doing more business face-to-face these days than I am on the net. So for the amount of "can you send me a sample of your work" over the last 5 years leaves me asking "why bother?" Plus when I consider all the trolling, the theft, the drama and the gossip that goes on it just seems to be more trouble than it's worth.

				 | Use your domain for tumblr. Its a good way to have your site but no cost.

				 | Of course domain, because: 1. You control it and no risk (less stress as well) 2. Once you are retiring, finishing etc you will have some valuable site/domain that could be sold. |

 2) You reinforced that assumption by starting this thread. Asking people if you should renew a domain or use a free alternative implies that spending $10 on a domain renewal is a major decision for you.

				 | Running your online business on a domain that you dont own looks about as professional as running a brick & mortar business out of a public storage building. If you want people to take you and your work seriously, get your own domain. You can host it on tumblr or wordpress.com and I think even blogger if that's how you want to go. |

				 | That's because they're stupid. You would think adults in the adult industry could find something better to do than act like children. There hasn't been a "right board" since 2008 and even back then it was debatable. Henceforth the reason for my question

				 | Basing a business on a free url is the equivalent of running a site on a trademarked domain. May be good for a while but then one day the plug gets pulled and all the traffic you created is gone and out of your control. Buy a domain so if shit gets banned you can redirect the domain to a new set up and not lose the existing traffic you created.   |
