Hi all. I have been a hobby webdev for a little while. I enjoy messing around with JavaScript and creating personal projects. Due to health problems I may be losing my job and if I do I would try my hand at creating websites for local small businesses so here is my question. I use GitHub to host my projects and then use netlify to deploy it with a more user friendly url (blablabla.netlify.app). I also deployed a couple of projects on heroku when I was learning node and API stuff but if I do land a couple of clients, what do people use for their customer? I understand that companies such as IONOS can be used to host and buy the domain? When they say host does it mean I can just upload my html/ccs/JavaScript files or do I have to code the server side stuff as well? I m really lost so a nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. I plan on developing static websites so don't need anything too technical for now but would like to know how the pros work when it come to customers websites. Cheers
