    Do you mean for them to run the website for you? Why the hell would you want that?

    wow, what an ignorant answerer, he is just trolling around. You can get free web hosting on webs.com but its not going to let you make a real site, with a bunch of php or any programming language, and other hosting services are normally like 50-60 for a year. I guess it depends on your purpose and whether or not a database is needed.

    Not less than $50.00/hour.
    You’ll probably have to guesstimate in the beginning, unless you have a good idea of what they’ll be asking you to do.
    I’ve tried charging an annual fee, which people are willing to pay, but some will take advantage of you, so it might be good to say $X for up to Y hours.

    Well, I am a part time amateur web designer and i also host websites as well. Most of the sites i have designed are gone now or are being edited by the actual owner due to me teaching them as well as coding for them. I normally don’t charge a lot but if i had to name i price i would say about $15/week depending on what you are requiring and i will be dedicated for 2 – 4 hours each day, any more than that i cant guarantee (I have a life too hehe) but i will always be reachable by phone or email.

    I can host a website for as little as $5/mo.

    that depends on the place where you host and register domain and the number of customers, for instance i’m a web developer and i manage my clients websites through http://www.tucktail.com/ , i charge about 10$ to 20$ a month

    It really depends on the type of website and how much maintenance.

    If you’re looking to do just local ma-and-pa type shops and professional services (like dentists) and throwing up a brochure type site with nothing too fancy, I would say you could charge $20 a month for everything. Some months they will want a lot of work, some months they won’t need any work.

    So you might want to try just one or two and see how many hours you spend on maintenance and then from there adjust your pricing depending on how much time you find spending on maintenance.
