Hosting customers sites

Hi, I'm creating a websites with JAMstack and I'm wondering how such sites sohuld be hosted for clients when the development is done.

I definitely don't want to host them on my servers even charging a fee for that. I don't want to be on the front line when there's a problem. Especially in the future, when the number of hosted projects may go into the hundreds.

Also I don't fell safe about hosting them in cloud. What if something goes wrong and the customer receives a large bill which the supplier does not cancel? What if I mess up some serverless function or client credentials get stolen? I would feel guilty because I recommended such a service.

The last option I see is to buy the server by the client and place the project with him each time. But that option isn't perfect also bacause it would require me to repeat the same configuration work multiple times.

This is not a problem with small landing pages that can be put on the cloud free tier, but what about larger projects?

How do you handle this?

There is a cheap hosting provider which has good reviews (mostly loading times and support for clients). You can check it - might be reasonable. Also, I have an affiliate account which would make it a bit cheaper. hostinger.com

The more advanced option you can control anything to anyone with Cloudflare from your dashboard. You can host anywhere and have full control of your clients. Cloudflare provides the latest, fastest most reliable features. I am using Cloudflare and would recommend it if you want to provide secure and fast internet service of any kind. cloudflare.com/en-gb/

vercel is also a good option. In most cases just push your code (or connect an existing repo) and you are ready to go.

Did you try netlify or cloudflare pages for static site hosting?
