I never host my client's sites. &nbsp;I always use commercial hosting. &nbsp;Hosting is a full time job, even just the security for hosting is a full time job. &nbsp;I get them to sign up with their own credit card for their domain names and hosting.

Thanks Dave, I wouldn't dream of hosting it myself. Apologies for the badly worded question, as I'm referring to commercial hosting

Hi,<br />
<br />
I'm setting up a site for a client, albeit my first. &nbsp;They're a small, one man operator. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
<b>My question is, do you commercially host your client's websites and onsell the fees or do you recommend a host and have the client sign up themselves?<br />

<br />
Given I'm also a single entity, the thought of rebilling constantly is a hassle. &nbsp;I'm also concerned with on-going support for the client and what happens if I'm unavailable.<br />

Hi,

I'm setting up a site for a client, albeit my first.  They're a small, one man operator.  

My question is, do you commercially host your client's websites and onsell the fees or do you recommend a host and have the client sign up themselves?

Do you commercially host your clients' websites?

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.

A consultant is a professional who provides professional or expert advice in a particular area such as security (electronic or physical), management, education, accountancy, law, human resources, marketing and public relations, finance, engineering, science or any of many other specialized fields.

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
