I don't and here's why. +--- + +I've worked for agencies who, as well as building or developing web applications, will purchase domain names and manage hosting for clients. + +I've worked at agencies who insisted on hosting applications they built. + +This is probably easier for clients initially, but things were harder on any project that needed transferring a domain name or migrating to a new hosting environment. + +I do this for myself, but I don't get involved with domain names or hosting for clients. + +I'm happy to give recommendations based on my experience using platform as a service (PaaS) offering and self hosting, but I want the client to set this up themselves. + +That means it's their account and they can contact someone if there is an issue, but mainly because they're in control. + +I want clients to work with me because they want to and not because they're locked in as I manage their domain name or hosting.
