Best of luck! If you're unsure, I find working with a lot of different types of clients at first can help you find the ones you are most passionate about.

This is a doubt, If i decide to stop my web dev company or if i run out of business what should i do to my client's website which is hosted and running and who still needs for their business?

[@LocalCreative]

That's one of the reasons I don't recommend hosting your client's websites. I like them to be in control of that so that way if you ever decide to pivot, you won't be responsible for tons of websites. Hope that helps!
