Web Hosting for my clients -- I am fearing I am doing this the wrong way. What I do now is have a main account with a web host company and I buy a whole new package for each customer and add 10$ a pay cycle onto that for my trouble. Has anyone a better way? Can I make more money somehow doing this? And is there a preferred company? Can we share company names???
I got an email this morning about Google hosting and it sounds good. Has anyone heard of this?
--remember where you've been, it helps with where you're going!
I personally haven't heard about the Google hosting, but what I did was found a great host in Michigan who offers great rates, and what I've done is when I get a new client, if they don't have a domain or host account I bring up my friend in Michigan. What happens then is they hook up with him and I get referral money. Likewise, if he knows someone that needs some web design he fowards them to me and I kick him back cash as well.
Again, as I've said before in other posts, I am sure many people have different ways of going about this. For now, I like the way I have things, but I am sure that when I grow I'll have to change plans a bit.
What you want is a 'reseller' account. You pay say $300 - $500/ year and add as many clients as fit for whatever you want to charge them and it looks as if it's your server and hosting co. If your clients are near to you, then get local hosting...
i have been in the biz for over four years and i keep referring clients to my friend and host, Jon Berry over at www.got-hosting.com . Great service! I pay $60 a month for a nice reseller account plus I have other accounts with him.
