I'm curious if anyone has any advice on creating a portfolio for MEAN stack development as far as hosting (ease of use and stuff) and maybe what potential employers would look for in a good entry level portfolio.

Of course you can use MEAN stack to build your portfolio, just want to give you my two cents. Here is my blog if you prefer a demo.
It would be good if you can showcase your previous projects on your portfolio, depends on your career goal, it could be fancy and full of animation and JavaScript tricks if you want to get into web front-end development. Otherwise, a clean and content related portfolio would be sufficient.

24,063 PointsThanks, I will check these out. Do you host the actual web applications or just link to the source code files on github for your actual portfolio?
