How Do I Tell A Client To Pay For His Site Hosting Every Year by odafe94(m): 2:29pm On Jul 09, 2016
Hello Web developers.. I learnt Web Development just to develop my personal websites.. But am developing one for a client and I don't know how to tell him he has to pay for hosting every year or every month.... I don't really like free hosting providers.. I've heard they aren't reliable... Your suggestions are highly appreciated

All you have to do is tell your client that he/she will incure an annual recurent fee, for domain name and hosting. And if the clients refuses, then the site is of no use to him.

Another thing is to build the hosting cost into your web design services!

Build like 3years hosting into it and let them know domain name and webhosting is 10k per year, if u pay 3years, it's 25k (5k discount)!

Make sure your bill for the design job is spelt out apart from the hosting fee!

That will save you a whole lot of stress!

Meanwhile, the 3years hosting thing will also help your client to rest for a long while before thinking of paying for hosting!

Having to chase them every year might seem somehow!

before creating the site for them, you will have to tell them about the annual fee. Some of them might pay for more than one year up front. So always educate your clients about the annual fee
