Hi everyone, first post on this forum so 1) I hope this is in the right thread. 2) I hope someone can help me here / has experience in similar business.
So I started my first business last year hiring out camping equipment in the UK. Started in August and by the time the year ended I had made around £1000, not enough to cover my expenditure but a great start. I had projected to make around £3k this year and already have around £2k worth of bookings, considering its only April I think I will smash this target.
So now for business number 2, I have friends who are tradesmen, from locks and alarms, electricians to plumbers, none of them have a website! Which I find crazy, I also have 2 friends who own food trucks, they advertise on facebook but again, no website, I see this as a huge opportunity and they are all on board with me creating sites for them, so first 6 clients are already sorted.
I have experience with designing sites and will only be asking these friends to cover what it costs me to create the sites plus maybe £5 a month profit (mates rates). As I would like to then use their sites to built a portfolio...I hope I am making sense so far!
My question is, what would be the best hosting platform to host domains and create the sites, I see hostinger has the ability to host 100 sites with their most basic package, but I would like to understand what is the best platform / if anyone has any experience in doing this.
Thanks in advance.
