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.
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!
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
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.
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.
Super helpful bro, thank you
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!
Nicely done! Glad you’re able to start making some passive income. Keep me updated on how it goes.
Absolutely amazing information, thanks a lot
Thanks for this info, let me check out your playlist.
Great video! I saw that living with pixels video too and disagreed with it too.... Clients don't want to deal with that stuff and it's leaving money on the table. Liked and subscribed, good sir!
Thanks for your video, it makes me feel ok to start my company
Great video & thought process
Great video bro!
Agree with all the points.
after this video all your clients gonna ask their money back))
Hi bryce, I’m new to this and I have a question.
If you buy the client the domain & use your own hosting, and set up the website for them, and then they decide they want to handle their website themselves once it’s set up but the hosting and domain is in my account, how do I give them access to it to take over ? Thanks
Hey Bryce, I have a couple quesitons.. do you have to mess with google reviews, seo or anything like that? Or are you only creating the websites for clients? Thanks!
Should i give domain and hosting service to the clients while making websites for them? Please tell me pros and cons
Been doing this for over 10 years now ;)
Started with a shared hosting account > upgraded to a VPS and now running GridPane on a dedicated server (loads of website to host)
I have a question plz, can a hosting plan handling multiple websites with their own domains?
I subscribed because I think I will learn a lot on you.
I totally agree I would never want my clients near domain or hosting as it saves me huge about of money
hey bryce, what is the name and domain of your web design bussiness?
Do clients get access to their hosting portal in the event you are using a company to host for you, without getting access to all of the hosted sites on the developer account?
what about the people that want your hosting but want someone else to maintain the website for them ie make changes to the site or tweak something with their site data
Super helpful .ill look at your playlist too . But can you help i have a wordpress managed site until june 2022 and a new client wants me to host and manage her site.. so can i ask what do you suggest ? Use go daddy and change her until june ? I just dont want to transfer or change things again in 6 months
Hi, Bryce. I'm thinking of starting a reseller hosting business. I have one or two clients ready but their websites are made on html. Namecheap tells me they don't help move the html sites to wordpress. Any pointers on the hosting companies that helps move websites?
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.
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”.
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.
Hey Bryce, I a live in Colombia South America, Where do you recommend to buy a domain and hosting? And how could I learn SEO?
Our website designer passed away,our business went wrong direction and we lost our business .it is good to keep customer their own domain name and hosting .
Its true, to build a business and you have to be self reliant
i have been hosting the same for about 6yrs now... most part is true. But do NOT underestimate the work if your sites get hacked.... it is a matter of WHEN it will occur, not IF it will
How do you manage domain email adresses though? Is it okay for your clients that you have access to their emails? With my reselling hoster there is no possibility to create a domain email adress that i don't have access to...
Any thoughts on firebase or using that to manage projects and websites and hosting through them?
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!
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.
Bryce Matheson you got it right thank you again!
*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...*
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?
Thank you
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 :)
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.
@@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?
@@techysoham but if one day they need to, the issue will appear
@@techysoham So what did you do? Reseller or Single Cloud?
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?
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.
@@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
@@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.
@@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
@@DalazG Never heard of Milesweb before. I like A2, though, and have had great luck. How much bandwidth is your client site using?
Dude you speak the truth more people should be watching video's like this instead of the how to get rich by investing now bs
question so do you stay the owner of the domain?
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??
You can give them some time to make their own domain and then kick them off.
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.
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
This is cool, my question is do you charge an initila amount for creating their website as well, or is it all wrapped into the monthly fee?
Yes he does
I think he charges something like $800-$1500 to make the website using wordpress
How do you deal with the cybersecurity side of hosting your own websites?
How do you decide on the monthly fee? Is it based on the services they require? Or just company size?
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.
please make tutorial about Hostgator vs hostinger
Thanks
How to fix cost for web hosting as a Reseller web hosting...
Because most hosting company offer best price to clients.. How to compete with them and give better cost and service.
But they have the control ? What if they to change
can we have a video on how to do FB ads for webhosting services?
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?
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.
@@BryceMatheson Do you have any videos on how you do that?
Sounds interesting. Could learn a bit more about webhosting.
Adrian Mai Check out the playlist in the description.
@@BryceMatheson im already watching! :)
@@BryceMathesonI don’t see one?
How can I automatically charge customers monthly?
Hi Bryce. Do you suggest shared wordpress hosting when starting out with clients with small / static sites? Something like A2hosting''s 'drive' package? Is it too unreliable due to it being shared?
I’d highly recommend reseller hosting. Each client absolutely must have their own cPanel.
hey bro , i want yo buy a web hosting and domain name for client but i dont have a credit card my relative paid for me i bought from ionos they didn’t except my purchase but there’s still not refund my money what should i do!
I’m not familiar with Ionos. Best I can recommend is to call their customer support. And in the future, buy from a more reputable company.
@@BryceMatheson i going with hostgator may i ask how long it will takes to my website goes live with hostgator!
@@thebetta4062 pro tip: don’t use hostgator
So why would someone choose a small server like mine over a giant established one with better pricing?
Easy. Because they’re not technical. 95% of my clients know nothing about web hosting, nor do they want to.
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.
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.
@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.
What is a server
verpex?
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?
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.
University did't taught me this.
75 clients I wish! I’m trying to break into the industry but it’s reluctant 😩
Were you able to?
For the hosting do they pay you directly or through the server company platform ??
They pay you directly.
What if you die and have no contingency plan? If that happens, your clients are screwed. 😬
I’ll be dead. I don’t care.
@@BryceMatheson Wow. You don't care about your clients. You’re in this for the money. That's sad. 😞
@@BryceMatheson wow
@@BryceMatheson HAHA
If I charged 50 dollars a month for a hosting here, they would report me to the police 🤣

@t
in one video you said that you charge $15 to $75 and you have 75 client so how you can earn $1000/m, you have to charge minimum $160 to make $1000 every month. so why you lie ???
cant do simple math? 75 x 14 = 1050, if every client was paying 14 USD x 75 that would be 1050$
Blessings, John 3:16 (NIV). Jesus loves you.
Always remember to repent of your sins (sin is transgression of YAHUAH The Father In Heaven’s LAW: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy) And Have Belief On Yahusha The Messiah. HE Died and Rose three days later so that you can be forgiven of your sins!
HE Loves you! Come to HIM!🙂🙂
