I have a question for people with experience in freelance Django work. I have a few projects building out websites for some businesses (one a pet shop, another a e-bike rental) I need some advice on what thr best service is to push the site to production and hand it over to the client. I feel like hosting it myself on my own account in say a hostinger VPS account maybe isn't the best. If hosting it myself is a good idea, could you explain why and how? If I should recommend a hosting service to the clients so they host it themselves, what would be some good recommendations for them? I am currently using pythonanywhere for my portfolio/blog site so I don't have to pay for anything just yet. Everything is working decent besides the media files that I upload for my projects and blog posts, so I need to figure out best practices with media files or for my site, leasy expensive practices haha

What are the clients expectations?

#

Are they paying you to do everything for them? Are they simply paying for the code?

Unfortunately this is more like beginning projects, I will tell them they can pay me whatever they want when I finish..
So it's a little bit more complicated haha

But if you could give me advice on both of those options as well, what would you do if you were to do everything in setting up their website?
What would you do if they are just paying for you to code up the site?
And in my scenario currently, what would you do?
Thanks @real salmon!
