How to showcase my portfolio, sell web design services and hosting?
I´d like to put up a website to showcase my portfolio in design and programming, but I would also like to use the site to sell my skills and design and host web sites for customers. Does that make me a reseller? Is host reselling the option I should look for?
I would appreciate recommendations for which provider to sign up with, I need to publish sites using anything from Drupal to flat file html.
That depends.
Reseller account: Get this if your clients want access to their own control panel, have their own set of settings, and do this kind of stuff themselves.
Regular account: If your clients are mostly small business owners who aren’t technically inclined, you’ll probably be the one to do maintenance for them. In this case you won’t need a reseller account. A regular account would be better since it’s more affordable.
I recommend http://webspacehq.net/ — they offer both regular and reseller accounts. You get unlimited add-on domains, so even if you choose a regular account, you could add and configure your clients’ domains very easily for no extra charge.
I’ve used hostgator for the past year and cannot fault them. they have great customer service and a great reseller hosting plan. If you go here http://earnforlife.info/about/ you can get your first month for free, Good Luck
