Am I able to host both under the same domain or should I have them on separate ones with links going bother ways? [Anastasia](https://hashnode.com/@coffeestasia) [May 30, 2021](https://hashnode.com/posts/how-to-build-a-great-developer-portfolio-examples-and-tools/60ae46ae2ef63a174032ce43/comment/60b27a229b1e2e1dccbcf49e#reply-60b34d719b1e2e1dccbd0574) If your goal is to prove your Python expertise to recruiters and employers, then I'd say yes, go ahead! I also enjoy the way you write tech articles: they are clear and visually compelling. If you think that these skills will help you get a dream job - go ahead (2)! I think the domain doesn't matter as long as you don't want to make your blog a part of your personal brand. If blogging is like a hobby to you, then leave it as it is. You want to build a strong brand around your name, meaning investing a lot of time, building a community, giving tech talks, etc. than you need a personal domain to make you blog look professional :) [Thomas Montfort](https://hashnode.com/@tmonty) [May 30, 2021](https://hashnode.com/posts/how-to-build-a-great-developer-portfolio-examples-and-tools/60ae46ae2ef63a174032ce43/comment/60b27a229b1e2e1dccbcf49e#reply-60b39b409b1e2e1dccbd0fa2) Thank you so much for the advice and the compliment on my articles. I put a lot of effort into them. I view blogging as a way to document my journey while also helping people learn along the way. I hope to eventually build a brand around my name.

The laws can change from country to country, so check your local situation, but where I am, if the work was done when working for an agency, it will be the client, or agency, but not the actual person who did it. Without this permission, you can get in trouble.
