LeungJan, I'm going to start charging for hosting/maintenance on the next and subsequent clients that I get to start a passive/recurring income stream.
I'm just going to use Hostgator hosting and bill clients using PayPal, which will eliminate the need to handle credit card information. (If anyone knows of a better alternative, I'd appreciate any info!)
I don't know that using paypal billing is the best option. Sure it's free and easy, but in my mind it seems kind of amaterurish.
I think you'd be better off getting a Quickbooks account or something similar, and sending monthly invoices to clients. You can either accept checks or Quickbooks Online has an option where clients can pay you online and they take $.75 or something like that.
Lastly, you can have your customers fill out a form that has their credit card information and a release that says you are allowed to charge it if they do not contest charges on their invoice within x amount of days. Then, get a square (for free) and process payments that way.
