Add a little more to your web design business

If you are one of those people who have outstanding abilities in web designing and web developing, you can now give businesses a more growing income by including web hosting in your web development services.

Web hosting empowers anyone with a computer and internet connection to own a piece of cyberspace. In your space, you can have news, bulletins, documents, data, files and your own mail server to accept mail, all in the context of you or your business. Through this service, you can make up to $50/month per site, hosting your client sites.

If ever you offered hosting services to your clients, you'll be assured that they will come back to you to make changes and updates. Take a look at this scenario: for example you get paid $500 – $1000+ for a site design. If you charge your client for hosting you could have $50 extra/site per month. You could make up to $1100 to $1600/site per year instead of just $500 or $1000 per site. Therefore, assuming you have 100 clients, this could lead up to $110,000 or $160,000 per year instead of $50,000 – $100,000 per year. Also remember that your client might come back to you to update and maintain the site which means more money for you.

In web hosting, you can also maximize your profit by getting a shared hosting account such as a reseller hosting account. Reseller hosting is a form of web hosting where the account owner splits up the allotted disk space and bandwidth to host multiple domains or resell web hosting. There are two ways to benefit with this kind of account. Webmasters with multiple sites can host their websites under one account for one low monthly fee. On the other hand, web developers can resell hosting as a value added service and make more income. A good reseller account will give you far more room to move and even greater cost effectiveness which means even more profit and less effort.


2 accounts that offer hosting reseller packages:

Windows hosting resellers –
this one will give you the freedom and choice to run ASP, ASP.Net as well as PHP sites with MySQL or SQL Server databases. With Windows hosting you can use all your favorite web design tools and you’ll have the vast resources of Microsoft development products like Visual Studio at your disposal.

This offers the cheapest hosting solution available but does not support ASP or ASP.Net.Net applications.
