Hello Ramy, You are most welcome.
You've gotten some good advice on this thread. For example, I took a look at Sharons' suggested website hosting company and, at first glance, it might be what you need. The site she posted was http://www.siterightnow.com. You say you simply want a website so that you can showcase your portfolio. May I assume, then, that you have some vision? If this is the case, then you will have more options as some web hosting solutions do not play well with screen readers. Regardless of how you proceed, the first and most important step is to register a domain name. I cannot stress the importance of this, enough. If you want to be taken seriously, on the web, you must have your own domain name. For example, I own about 22 domain names; many of which I am not currently using but which I may use, at some point in the future. Two more points on this: (1) register your domain name for at least 2 years. (2) and this is important, be certain to pay the little extra fee for private registration for those first 2 years. You will not need to renew the private registration when it expires but you definitely need to use it when first reserving a name. Trust me on this. As for the web hosting, itself, since your needs appear to be minimal, you might consider a free solution such as www.wordpress.com. This site, which is actually owned by WordPress, allows one to setup a web site for free, provided the user agrees to allow ads to be displayed. It's not a solution I would use but ... Otherwise, you can do what another list member suggested and search for sites that cater to those wishing to showcase their portfolios. If all else fails, I do trust both TigerTech.comand Web.com as good hosting companies but I cannot speak as to how competitive their rates are, these days. As you conduct your own research, you'll develop a feel for what kind of price point and feature set will work best for you. I strongly suggest that you only consider web hosting companies that offer 24-hour a day free telephone technical support.
