Hi all!
I’m in the early days of running a freelance web development business, and am seeking advice on handling web hosting and email hosting setup for clients.
I’ve had a few clients so far, and so far I’m using Hostinger for domain name registration, email hosting, and web hosting. Currently, I have one large hosting plan that I am using to host all my client’s sites. After speaking with some people with experience in the industry, I have been advised that this could pose security issues, as access to my Hostinger account grants access to all services for all of my clients. A security breach could therefore be disastrous.
Therefore, I am seeking advice from web development business/agency owners on a more secure and reliable way to manage these services. Beyond using a different provider for each service, is it advisable to set up hosting accounts for my clients, rather than use a bulk hosting solution associated with one account?
Note: I’m new to the forum, so apologies if this request is too broad - I’m happy to create separate posts in future with higher specificity if this is the case. Otherwise, any guidance would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
