Also the biggest question I have with this is billing.
How do you bill these small fish without a nonstop nagging headache? I get you can turn their site off at anytime, but I imagine each month billing to be quite the headache.
I do exactly what you are describing for a living but only at a big fortune 500 company. Our clients are other portions of the large company that require all sorts of enterprise level cloud hosting and guess what happens at the end of each month.....
Billing is a goddamn nightmare.
So any insight would be appreciated. Also asked a web dev friend why he doesn't do his own hosting and his response was along the lines of, "Deal with these people for eternity? These small and medium sized clients are beyond needy and will drive you insane. Trust me it's best to get paid and move on until they have another paid need"
