Website portfolios or is artstation the new standard?

Tomiajayi

Hi. I'm just curious about applying for a job as an artist.   I'm primarily thinking about game entertainment/movie artist jobs, both 3d and 2d.  
Personally i'm a 3d artist focus on modeling and environments,  also a 2d illustrator/concept artist.  

I know a few years back it was a must to have a website portfolio, and your body of work was everything.  
But from what I hear artstation is so popular that it is almost less professional to show your personal website than your artstation page?

Is this true? Should I not worry about my site and just polish my artstation page?

Also, does it help or hurt to have a super clean modern minimalist site with just your images.
or is it vitally important to have a little text synopsis attached to each images describing your work on it?

thanks !

I use a minimalist personal website still, one page with all my images on it. I still post all my work to artstation and use it more as a social network. The big thing stopping me from using artstation pro as my portfolio is that it's more than double the cost of my domain name and hosting combined.
