act as the hosting reseller. For me, the freelance business was entirely
throwaway, so I made sure that there were no ongoing ties with my clients.
When a site was up, my involvement was done. I wasn't trying to make a
living at it, so I didn't need to find the recurring income. I was also very
up front about that with my clients, and my prices were significantly lower,
because I wasn't making an ongoing business commitment.
If I had been trying to really make a go of it, as I gather you are, my
approach would have been different.
