From Web Design to Hosting Process
I was wondering what the actual process was between web designers and web hosting companies. I have always seen the following but wondering about other experiences and thoughts.
How do you account for clients that want you to fix web designer issues such as code that's not compatible with your version running on server?
Should the provider ever get involved in fixing code for the client?
1. Domain Purchase
2. Hosting Company Selection
3. Web Designer builds site
4. Web Designer tests site in hosting environment
5. Web Designer uploads finished product to hosting server

I never get involved with the domain purchase because it causes too many future issues with management and billing. I leave it to the responsibility of the client as well as hosting.
Not sure exactly what you mean by fixing code? Do you mean hosting environment issues or code put together by someone else?██ TiaWood.com - Smart Web Development Explained

If a site is built for PHP 5.3, it needs to use PHP 5.3.
You can't just ask the designer/developer to "make it work" with something else.
You'll need to use the proper server environment -- not the other way around.|| Need a good host?

I think it's all the responsibilities of web designer, you should confirm with hosting that their server will be compatible with your scripts.

Its not the responsibility of web hosting company to fix the code. The buyer should be told that he must ask his designer to use the code that is compatible with the hosting environment.

Exactly! I won't even do sites that are going to be hosted elsewhere.
My VPS's are from premium companies and they're optimised and configured to suit my Joomla sites.
I won't waste my time trying to battle with somebody else's low budget oversold cheapo hosting.
If somebody refuses then they can go and find another designer.....cos I haven't got time to deal with that crap.

I agree and this is the way it's always been done but what if you get a client that just had some designer build a site and say hey install on your server?
Do you mess with those clients?
Do you try to explain to the client that your site may not function totally on our server?
Do you try to say hey we can upgrade our PHP let us break all of our clients sites for you?OCOSA Communications | Since 2003

Web hosting and web design is altogether a different business altogether. While web design comes into website development field, on the other hand web hosing is a bit technical field.
