Should you host your clients websites?

- Website Hosting
If you are a work at home web designer or run a website design agency then then you could be missing out on a great recurring monthly income opportunity.
Many web designers will just ask the client to set-up a hosting account and upload the website but, by hosting it for your client using a good reseller account it could bring you some easy money every month.
You need to make sure that you choose a good reseller host with a control panel for your client (something like cPanel or Plesk) so they can self administer creation of mailboxes etc.
You also need to make sure that the web host has great uptime and performance. The better the web host then the less you will have to support your clients -
You can easily charge £10/month or more per client for hosting their website and a reseller hosting account can cost as little as £20/month with a good, reliable web host so it soon pays for itself many times over.
