Basically title, i’m planning to start making wordpress websites and contact small local business around me to make/replace/fix their website.
I have watched an incredible amount of video’s and read alot about all of this to inhale as much information as possible before actually making the first step.
Before I go into detail, yes I know the difference between .com and .org, i’m going with org.
My current steps of ‘plan’ is to first buy a hosting for myself first with just 1 website, my current look is *hostgator* the cheapest plan, I already contacted them and got confirmation that I will have subdomains available.
After purchasing that, getting my own business linked to my domain, I can basically make my ‘main’ website for services that I give, subdomain for a portfolio, and multiple other subdomains as ‘portfolio showcase sites’
I do know that certain plugins for wordpress costs money *and alot of them are not worth it* but some are crucial, elementor for example as a page builder, say I want to JUST build a website for a client, can I just make the website on my own account (so my hostgator hosting and using another subdomain)
And then once that website is done and ready to be delivered, I migrate it to their favoured hosting service and hand it over to them.
Am I on the right thinking path here?
I also eventually want to give ‘service’ plans where I can personally maintain their website for a monthly fee, but to do that I assume I will indeed have to buy elementor again on their platform, right?
Does someone have any insight about this I have been thinking alot about this and could not find the answer anywhere.
EDIT; also is there a good reddit thread that speaks about what the best hosting is *for all specific business*
I assume when I do the ‘service’ for them I have to know what their visitors will be like, if it is alot of traffic I should pick the best hosting that can run flawlessly on their end, and choose a cheaper hosting service for those that just want to have a website with <1/10k visitors, is that correct?
