Amy, I don't offer hosting, but I offer the setup of it, for a cost, to clients. This extra includes registering the domain, & purchasing a year of hosting with a local provider. Once the site's finished & payment's received, I transfer that to them & it's in their hands from then on.
So far, so good. Paul, I like your setup. Not a bad idea. Cheers!
