Hey Kurt. Yeah you bet … providing hosting support is the last thing I want to do. I'm not good at it, dislike doing it and there a people out there that have hosting as their core business who are more than happy to handle it.

What I recommend you do is team up with a smaller hosting company. Give them a quick call and it's usually a small business and you'll get to speak to the top guy. Tell him what you are up to and ask if she wants to be your hosting partner. Make sure they understand you want no part of providing hosting support and that this responsibility would be theirs.

Make sure you do some due diligence to see if the company has any complaints or a track record of disgruntled customers etc. You want to select a host that has a positive or at worst, a neutral reputation.

Hope this helps.

Danno:

I shy away from hosting as well because I don't want to be a 24/7 support center. Can you explain how you offload the support to the webhost? How do you explain it to your customer?

Thanks!

Good article. Value-added packages such as backup/security, social media management, SEO and the like can also be offered to clients at the end of a traditional project as maintenance packages.

(Lots of spelling mistakes in the article btw)
