Ordering on behalf of others.
THE TWO APPROACHES
Reseller hosting, where you hold one account and create client accounts within it Individual accounts, one per client
WHICH SUITS
Below about five clients, individual accounts are simpler.
Above that, reseller hosting is cheaper and easier to manage.
CLIENT DOMAINS
Register them in the client's name, with their details as registrant.
Never in your own. Managing a domain is different from owning it.
This is the arrangement that causes the worst disputes in the industry, and it is entirely avoidable.
CLIENT HOSTING ACCOUNTS
If you hold the account, say so in writing and agree what happens when the relationship ends.
WHAT TO AGREE WITH CLIENTS
Who owns the domain Who holds the hosting account Who takes backups What support you provide
BEFORE ORDERING
Open a Sales ticket with how many clients you expect and what they run.
We will tell you which arrangement suits.
