freelance hosting question

[ukemike]

Hey guys. I got another (hopefully last one) freelance web design and development question.

For moderators, plz dont delete this post because i know its not related to javascript but i know a bunch of people do it here.

Im almost got everything ready to start my own freelance web design and development, but i cant figure out one question:

Lets say a client wants a website. Do i just find him a web hosting company and tell him how much its gonna cost per month??
Should i just email some web hosting company and tell them that im going to be putting my client's websites on their web server? Do you think they would give me a discount??

Any ideas? How do you guys do it??

Ok thanx
mike

I think a better approach would have been(instead of posting it here) try calling them or writing to them and find out first hand that what they will say...:D

Basicly you find a host that has an option to be a reseller. In most cases your on hte hook for billing.

Downside - you have bill and collect money.
Upside - higher margins and they remain your clients.


And you really should have posted this in the general forum.

so what is the difference if a host is reseller or not??
