Great video! I would start with getting a reseller if you have no idea how to manage a server, and then build yourself up from there. You don't want to sound ignorant to your clients from a technical standpoint for hosting. Just my two cents. Keep it up Bryce!

[@Pandaeyedninja]

Hey Bryce, I saw one of your videos months ago and started my online web designing business, now I have a few repeat clients and I feel that this will be a good way to make sure my client sticks with my service for a longer time. Thank you!

[@BryceMatheson]

Nicely done! Glad you’re able to start making some passive income. Keep me updated on how it goes.

[@darkdeep3951]

I have a question plz, can a hosting plan handling multiple websites with their own domains?

[@tonybp]

Great video. I'm thinking in starting my agency and I'm researching all this stuff. I was watching that other video you mention and I was shaking my head a bit because from what I've seen most clients just want a working page without all the technical details. When it comes to hosting the odds of a website going catastrophically down is so low anyway. As far as the domain, I wouldn't have a problem just handing it over if the client wants it, it's already been paid for. Anyway that's just me, I'm no expert yet. On to that playlist, thanks and you have a new subscriber.

[@hassanbilal1951]

hey bro , did you succeed in starting your web design agency.

[@jackchristensen2227]

Not all websites are located on a single server. Cloud hosting is a great example of this. Also very large traffic websites use multiple servers across the globe where localized traffic ca go to improve speed.

[@jdservices]

Thank you, my whole idea when planing to start a website creation business was to make passive income and that video shit my idea down. This one gives me inspiration to take the risk to manage it to make that passive income

[@jackies35]

What happens if the client decides to stop paying the monthly fee? Do You stop updating their website? Do they get to keep the domain??

[@RoBeaters]

You can give them some time to make their own domain and then kick them off.

[@SpideyOnPSN]

You can give them a grace period before making any decisions. Hosting their website on your account means you can control what is seen on their website until they point their domain elsewhere.

[@RibbonAssets]

Personally I’d put a line of code in the .htaccess file after a certain period of none payment that forwards all requests to their website to your website or a page that says something like: “This company has failed to pay or make payments for their web hosting. Once the owed payments are made by the company/individual their website will promptly return to normal. Thanks for your understanding.” Then once they make their payment(s) you simply just comment out that line of code in the .htaccess file and save then the website should be working just as it was before. Then if they ever get behind on payments again you can just uncomment that line of code. Hope this helps, if you have any other questions about .htaccess or how to do this more in depth I’d recommend just asking ChatGPT

[@techysoham]

Hey Bryce! Thanks for this info. I have a question though, is it a good practice to host the client websites in one single cloud hosting plan? I am planning to start a Web Agency that offers complete web development solution and the clients don't need to worry about all the technical things, we'll handle all of those. So in that case what would you recommend, Reseller Hosting or Hosting multiple clients in single Cloud Hosting? Awaiting your reply :)

[@BryceMatheson]

Absolutely do Reseller hosting. That way, the clients have their own cPanel, completely separate from anyone elses. Trust me -- it'll save you a ton of headache down the road.

[@techysoham]

@@BryceMatheson I was planning to buy a Single Cloud Hosting plan and then host multiple domains on that. Most of my clients won't be requiring any cPanel access, as my company will be managing all the back-end and technical things. What do you say?

[@UTOOPIA]

How do maintain security? Is it possible to managethe websites on different IP's for every site on 1 single hosting?

[@jaymartinez311]

Use a vps. I’m gonna do hostingers vps but if your not a skilled web developer the ssl certificates and other stuff may be difficult. Buy a big enough vps though and after two years in hostinger the price goes up. Still no where near what you probably pay for multiple apps to watch tv or movies etc… Its a business. There is cost.

[@michelemanzi9131]

Man this video helped me a looooot! Just one question, what do I do if a client already has a domain but Im using Siteground to host my clients websites? Thanks man you're great!

[@BryceMatheson]

Michele Manzi Maybe I don’t understand the question. If a client already has a domain, though, that’s no big deal. Just migrate their website to your own hosting, and then change the Nameservers.

[@michelemanzi9131]

Bryce Matheson you got it right thank you again!

[@DalazG]

Awesome video! Really interesting and something I'd love to get into. One thing though, i was looking at reseller hosting and it seems that the bandwidth limits may become an issue. For example clients that need an ecommerce site, busy traffic sites. I dont think reseller hosting providers enough bandwidth to handle higher traffic?

[@BryceMatheson]

I’ve never hit any limits on bandwidth. I think people overestimate how much they need. But if that is the case, you can always upgrade your server to meet the needs of your clients. I’ve had to upgrade my server 3 times now as I’ve signed on more and more clients.

[@DalazG]

@@BryceMatheson interesting, i should clarify that i started hosting but i added woocommerce to a client and it consistently maxes out their server. Perhaps it is my hosting provider

[@BryceMatheson]

@@DalazG Could be. Who do you use for hosting? I’m not saying that some sites aren’t big enough that they won’t max out a server, but I don’t see it happen very often. You may need to move that one site to a dedicated server.

[@DalazG]

@@BryceMatheson i use milesweb as they're pretty cheap. Using them just till i get enough clients to justify switching to another client but i spent a lot of time trying to reduce server load on their website. I would say their website isn't even that intensive

[@ssjordan34]

[@Preserver-mn6bj]

so what would I do if they buy the domain name, like would they go to something like google and point it towards my server or hosting. Like me, I use Hostinger cause I find it reliable, how would I go about doing that?

[@teresasanchez7164]

Their is also legal costs for interjecting yourself into a persons business - hosting is not the issue - but the domain is the business name and should always belong to the business owner

[@adrianadios5041]

Hey Bryce do you also charge your clients for maintenance? $1000 for 75 clients is good but i feel like you can get more per client for example atleast $20 per month per client.

[@TheCAG1976]

I love this video first off! I helps answer some questions. However I hope you’re available to answer too more. If I’m not renting a server and I use Bluehost or AWS and Heroku, should I still charge the client for hosting? Like I pay for the hosting and then charge them the cost or perhaps mark it up? This became a concern because I’m building a site for a friend and because she’s a friend and trusting me, she gives me her credentials. Well I saw her billing information which would not be good for a client. Also if I do charge a monthly fee, what is the best way to bill them? I’m sure there are methods to create reoccurring bills for them.

How do you decide on the monthly fee? Is it based on the services they require? Or just company size?

[@adrianadios5041]

You just decide yourself. You don't want it to be too much as many businesses know hosting is cheap. But you can charge more for a Hosting + Maintenance package..... for example $30-$50 per month. It all depends on your sales skills.

*Hi, From Hostinger I had purchased, Premium Web Hosting plan (Under shared web hosting), which allow 100 website to host, it was for personal use. Now I am interested in website building & I am a beginner in website building business and I dont prefer to invest more for extra hosting plans. So is it allowed to host my clients site in this plan? Or do I need to buy a new high premium plan for hosting clients website. I am looking for cheap & efficient option of hosting plan option where I can host multiple site in single hosting plan, so that I can offer my service in less cost. I would be glad if its possible to use my current personal plan. Note: I create only business page website & I don't create E-commerce website. Please advise...*

[@jimmila2405]

Thanks Bryce this is great information - I have also went through your playlist and now plan to set up my own web hosting providing service aimed specifically at small businesses / 1 person websites for my local cities/country. The question I have and not clear how it works and domain reselling. I know you say that you stay out of this due to complexity when/if the customer wants to leave you however I do think it helps if you can provide the domain name and hosting as the audience I would target will not be technically clear on what a domain really is (and probably wont have the patience to research this) and how it varies from hosting. From experience when explaining to non-technical audiences it does raise confusing on what is what. Could you give any pointers on how domain reselling would work with a2hosting and how this can be incorporated into my web hosting website? Even if i dont make any money on the domain purchase, I think it would be good to still offer the 'one stop shop' where they can purchase directly my website the domain name and select the package they want with being able to subscribe/purchase on my website.

[@BryceMatheson]

Jim Mila If this were the case and you still wanted to handle domains for your client, I would just create a brand new account per client (using NameCheap is who I use) and then give them access to that account. They may never log into it, but at least it’s somewhat silo’d off from the rest of your clients and it’s “theirs”.

[@christianvannoort190]

What do you do if the client already has hosting and an existing site? How do you re-design their site with little to no downtime while keeping the current domain and hosting?

[@BryceMatheson]

What I do is make a clone of their existing site or build a new site (on my own hosting) in tandem. Then, once the site build is complete, I cut them over to my hosting.

[@christianvannoort190]

@@BryceMatheson Do you have any videos on how you do that?

[@humbertg.9661]

THanks for this video, however I'm starting in the web developing/design business and the majority of the clients I work for run personal businesses, like personal trainers, dancers, etc. They don't have 30 bucks a month to pay for their website but around 10-12 usd, so the webhosting may not be a suitable investment for me.

[@derekmadge]

@Humbert G I am a little late to the party here but if they are barking at paying $30 a month just be able to justify to them that it will probably bring them in more than 100 a month. It’s all in the perceived value to them.

[@teresasanchez7164]

As a business owner - it is outrageous for you the web designer to have the domain in your name- they can no longer trademark their name- you have just interjected yourself into their business- that’s insane - business owners- contact a trademark attorney - protect your business 😊

[@iancampion6979]

So why would someone choose a small server like mine over a giant established one with better pricing?

[@BryceMatheson]

Easy. Because they’re not technical. 95% of my clients know nothing about web hosting, nor do they want to.

[@Koyasi78]

With white label hosting makes that question irrelevant. Resell the hosting of a larger company, splashed with your logo, packaged with your service. I call this the win-win-win. Caveat: be comfortable with tech support. And not the it crowd kind. But genuine customer service. If you pick a good hosting company and design a good site then your calls will be minimum and few.

[@tahirramromi8148]

How do you handle clients not wanting your services within like 3 months after you set them up? Do you have a min "contract" period?

[@BryceMatheson]

Mpuks Thekid Nope. I’ve never had a customer cancel after only 3 months. But I don’t want to lock them in either. Everything is month-to-month. If they decide to leave, that’s on them. Honestly, though, I think most customers stay just because it would be daunting for them to try and migrate everything by themselves elsewhere.
