Should web developers and designers who are freelancing handle the hosting for the client? Many times it is yes. But other times, you may not have to.

I develop web and mobile apps, and most of them require more things than just hosting. I include it in all of my jobs, and turn it into monthly profit Earn money from hosting and maintenance. The day the client decides to stop working with me, I remove their apps from my servers, cut my support, and give them their code so they become responsible of the code. But regardless of whether they keep getting support or not from me, they always get 1 - 2 years of warranty from my apps and I fix my own bugs.
I’ve never thought of making my own website, but when you said “They can shut you down” I started to think of making my own website.
This talk about how to handle hosting was the only thing I felt was missing from your freelance course. You should definitely consider including a complete in-depth video on this topic in your freelance course.
I think this one's my question. LOL. Thanks for the answer, Stef. I also found a video of another freelance web developer where is solution is to sign up for hosting and domain name in behalf of the client and then giving them the credentials during or after the development. My takeaway from all this is that there are SOOOOO many ways to do it. So many that I shouldn't really be worried about applying any of them.
this is my biggest problem; when I offer someone to make them a website for FREE so that I can gain experience and add it to my stash portfolio.
they assume the domain and hosting will also be FREE... XD
😡😡😡😡😡
you must said umhh hello??????? you must give me a money for a domain and another for a hosting
Great video Stefan! I know of a hosting company (won't say who) that only allows you to force SSL with javascript. They seem utterly oblivious.
This is exactly what I have been looking for! Thank you 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Hey Stefan, can you make a videos about tips to learning to program in multi threading/concurrency?
Hi Stefan, how long are you going to offer this deal? I'm not able today to purchase the year for the moment but in a couple of months I'll be able to.
Very good question and answer
I still see the recent proposal from ICANN to lift the limit , the cap of the domain prices as a huge issue... because, even if you opt for not doing a mixed deal (as some friends do, have done per years, as in some world's regions, a small business owner don't even want to mess with dealing with the payments to a hosting and a domain name) of both having / paying / configuring the hosting, so, going for configuring all but making the client pay for it, as explained in the video, the issue is there, as small business are - maybe- going to be less eager to go this way, maybe just go back to having only the facebook page (many do so already), instagram page (idem), youtube, twitter and maybe even pinterest. But that's stuff that, - while they could (rarely) hire a social media person for it - leave the web developer a bit out of the equation. I mean, if is really what some predict to happen not only to .org sites, but also .com and etc, that a domain can get (from the usual current 10$) not just tens of times more expensive, but even hundreds, like costing 1k bucks or more... I can see many small business just be done with their FB page until they see them selves as a medium size business (and IMO, most never will, yet they're our main market). And that would be no good, imo. Also for indy projects, organizations, etc.
Besides this, even just for the portfolio site... In my artist side (in which am focused, have temporarily parked web dev, actually, as brings more freelancing money for me, while is better business the web dev, but am way more experienced in the other, it's only due to that) no biggie, as now Artstation and some other ready-made porfolio sites are kindda enough for an illustrator. But for a more general professional (ie, web development, etc... even graphic design when you want to reach other legs of large businesses, not just ppl into pretty digital paints or game companies looking for concept artists) seeing a domain become prohibitively expensive looks to me as a very big issue. Even for the web professional willing just to have it for training and trying things and stuff.
Besides, if is what a bunch of people is saying, seems quite an earthquake in the market itself, which can affect many things one way or another; would be interesting to know about the potential implications or domino effects. My only hope is based in that it seems that gurus are not paying (or the ones I'm subscribed to, or blogs etc I read) much attention to it. The doubt is if is it because there's some unknown (by the general public) other factors, or simply they are just not aware, or not considering it.
There are many sites commenting about this, but here's an article from The Register :

Do you recommend Google Cloud hosting? For proyects so scalability is not a problem?
Though I am kind of somewhat functional about hosting by now. This video is still very helpful & I am sharing it. :) The offer Min 9:00 is very tempting too!!!
Where do I go to get the freelance course if I get the yearly subscription?
Great video!
Does the hosting offer(deal) still work/in the power?
Thanks Stefan, very useful tips. As a freelance web developer, I buy a big host for most of my HTML5, WordPress, Magento projects. So I charge my client a flat fee for web design, domain name and hosting as one.
Got one question . Is this a one time fee ? or do you recommend monthly or yearly?
@@doodlez2439 I recommend yearly, so that way I charge less to renew the hosting.
What do you do when the contract expires or client suddenly cancels? Just let it expire? How many clients do you normally work with? Sorry to bother -Newbie here.
@@MR_PKC
thank you very much for the information on the process of doing freelancing .
@@alantinoalantonio Jimmy Chameleons when the contract expires I give the client an option to renew with me for a low fee for maintenance of the site web host and domain name renewal, if the refuse I hand over details to the next developer of their choice to handle their project, in the case a client cancels his work I don't give a refund on cash spent on hosting, because most hosting company's i do business with do not give refunds on domain name purchased, so I make it clear to my clients in my M.O.U, so it does not come as a surprise to them. As for client's in the world of freelancing we look for as many as we can get, in order to have steady income follow, but as you scale it's wise to collaborate with others in order to keep up with the demands. It's always good to have a team you work with.
This was informative
Sir, i am first. Your course is amazing. Best in the world. Love you.
Would it possible for you Stefan to upload your course on Udemy? I have already bought several courses with them. It is very convenient for me to have all my courses on one platform (hub) only. If one day you do so, please let me know. I can then purchase your course on Python and Web Dev. Anyway, really enjoy your videos, they have a calming effect on me. Cheers
Definitely not, what if the relationship turns sour. Then you’re up shit creek without a paddle
Then they revoke your permissions and they hire a new guy to take over? You can handle hosting, just ensure you're not the person who's paying for it or who has ownership over it. You're just an admin until you're not.
@@cla1814 last part makes literally no sense. VIP server? You mean VPS? Delete it? Mail code (who does that lol)? Blackmail your client and get sued? what are you on about lol??
Wait so how long does one pay for their host?
I'm interested in the deal but not seeing a link.

I think it's a problem with Stef's website. The link was functioning properly yesterday.
Try again later on.
If you can't think higher than a worker you won't it make it long as an owner. It's all about the service!
I am very interested, but which hosting company are you talking about?
Heroku is < 20$ a month (typically). Deploying is super easy.
Yes, you should is easy passive income, obviously, charge them Maintainance fee. Especially if it a static site.
Or you can give them a content management system which you have build.
You can tell them it's cheaper then maintenance. You don't want to maintain a lot. You want to automate that.
@@sicariushahni5366 Building a CMS is terrible idea better to use one already built in like WordPress or ghost js etc. If it a CMS you have to charge more money since a database will be needed, database backups, constant updates(if it wordpress) that can break your site because of a plugin not been maintained anymore etc. Now Static site needs no maintenance anymore. Basically you may only need to check site once a year at most.
where is the hosting link?
Sorry about that. Here it is: www.killersites.com/blog/2019/webhost-company-pays-for-your-web-design-training/
Hey Stef, I’m new to web design. Just got my first client, unpaid to start a portfolio, but going to set them up with web hosting. Can I get your entrepreneur and freelancer courses if I have them sign up for web hosting through your sponsor?
