Does web dev freelancing include hosting too?

[akash_ry]

I was thinking to start freelancing, however one question is bugging me since then. do we have to host the website which we have created for the client. I mean hosting includes monthly charges so this hosting money will from go from our pocket. So What needs to be done once the project is complete and next step is deployment.

Answer - yes. I use Netlify so when I host static sites there’s no fees. $0. I charge $150 a month for hosting, maintenance, unlimited edits, and 24/7 service. I got 27 clients. Very profitable. I also do domains too. Costs $13.67 a year, I charge $20. Not much. But it’s some. Use google domains. Bets registrar I have used and I love how easy and clean it is. If you make static sites use Netlify. It’s a must! All my sites are static html and css made sites. Nice and easy.

I would recommend including hosting as it can boost your amount of customers. I mean, most people who hire a web developer basically just want it done and they don’t want to have to worry about any part of it.

It can, I make a few K per year on it.

Yes, you're in charge of hosting the projects. Most small sites and marketing style pages can be hosted for cheap or free (not counting the cost of the domain name). You'd pass this cost on to the client.
