      <p>I've worked for agencies who, as well as building or developing web applications, will purchase domain names and manage hosting for clients.</p>

      <p>I've worked at agencies who insisted on hosting applications they built.</p>

      <p>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.</p>

      <p>I do this for myself, but I don't get involved with domain names or hosting for clients.</p>

      <p>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.</p>

      <p>That means it's their account and they can contact someone if there is an issue, but mainly because they're in control.</p>

      <p>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.</p>
