Hi all,
I am keen of setting up becoming a freelance web developer but i have serial things i wanna discuss
first thing is there much a difference between a company that user cpanel than a company like webs.com the reason i ask is because today if any of the people at my software in keen of hosting quiet a few of them said they would rather use webs.com now some of them are artists and they prefer to use a proper host since ive got a reseller account myself i actually pay for with cpanel i tried to offer them good webhosting for what they need to do either it be for themselfs or clients quiet cheaply and it seems to me they are just up tight i tried to explain that it look unprofessional using webs.com for a client and or yourself portfolio.
i would of thought if they were in the design side they should know alittle bit more regarding to look “professional” is there much difference between a company like webs.com and wix.com and a company since im trying to be good co-worker and offer them cheap hosting. Since normally they have a thing for 3rd floor hates 1st floor since my software company i work for is actually split up into 2 floors in a 3 story building.
i try to talk to one of the guys he just tells me to drop it and i just dont understand if your a freelance designer of some sort wouldnt you want to use a proper paying host since hosting is cheap these days and not using a free host i even tried to offer them a $5 a month shared hosting account to host with me with plenty of space and bandwidth just doesnt seem correct to me.
So what do you guys think i know at my work people on the 3rd floor do special offers for each other and sumtime free but when i try to do a special offer they seem to not think about their professionalism for the way their clients and or own websites look i mean paying hosting is cheap these days i would try and explain but they wouldnt listen to me.
other thing on my mind is what would be the best way for me to start out as a freelance web developer should i team up with some one who does webdesign as a freelancer aswell and have agreement with them aswell as setting up contracts are these actually required to do if i am freelancing? is there anything else i need to be worried about on the legal side of things?
since i have my own hosting since i would be starting out should provide hosting for my clients or just redirect them to another host and set it all up for them?
If anyone can answer my Questions it would be good,
Thanks,William
