Divi Chat Ep. 42 – How to Handle Hosting for Clients
Had a great talk with my fellow Divi Chatters in this episode of Divi Chat. If you’re wondering about whether to host clients or have them set up their own hosting or create reseller account etc, this episode’s for you!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for checking the episode out, Princeton! Hope it was of some help to ya.
How do you handle domains for a client? Do you buy it and add it to the clients bill, or do they buy it?
Hey Mark, I have the client buy their own domain name. I’ve managed some but it becomes a pain when it comes to renews and billing. Seems to add an extra level of support/client education whereas if you have the client by their own domain name, they can manage renewals and such. That’s my 2 cents on it!
Thanks for this podcast! Josh. I’ve been freelancing for 6 years and host about 10 client sites via my hosting account at webfaction. Looking to set up a better hosting environment for my clients plus make additional funds. I’m looking to switch to siteground. Would you recommend just getting a Growbig account and do a reseller later? Trying to push out more security and maintenance packages moving forward. Thoughts and thanks.
Thanks a great deal…your response means a lot…sounds great! I’m going to set this up soon. I’m trying to get some steady monthly revenue and just offered a maintenance plan to my latest client and they grabbed the plan…Looking forward to offering to all my clients soon.
Thank you again!
