Hey all
Not 100% sure where is best to ask this question (as in site, more then anything else) but since I've started doing a few websites for a few friends I'm starting to wonder if rather then getting each one to set up their own hosting account whether it's worth me getting a reseller account and charging them which would give slightly more control to me I guess.
There are 2 reasons why I haven't done this so far, 1 is that if for whatever reason we fall out, they can toddle off with their current hosting account and make merry with someone else with no ties to me and secondly I'm not sure if there are any other implications which would then come into play such as accounting and tax.
Anyone based in the UK who's a reseller, would tax them come in to play if I started charging people for hosting? My gut feeling is yes which will mean I'll just stick to my current arrangements (although might try and get a little commisson from somewhere instead).
