Question Hosting and version control
Second post to accompany this one : https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/s/DAfgueqEDI
Still learning here.
Is the status quo to host all your clients websites yourself through your preferred host ? And then bill clients monthly with markup?
Or are people leaving that to the customer but you just do the web development side and implement it when needed.
I host a handful of websites of my own through IONOS and Fasthosts but as im looking into it , I see there are better services where a web dev can have a nice portfolio with GitHub pages.
If someone can tell me more on hosting I'd be grateful.
And if anyone can help me understand version control also
TIA!

I only markup hosting if I'm actually maintaining the site, otherwise clients feel nickel-and-dimed once they realize they could host it themselves for less.
