I hear you, but I feel like that ignores a lot of externalities to hosting a site for a client, including: 1. Support (fielding calls, answering emails, etc)

I hear you, but I feel like that ignores a lot of externalities to hosting a site for a client, including: 1. Support (fielding calls, answering emails, etc) 2. Updates (copy, design, patching) 3. Admin (billing, contracts) And that's just off the top of my head. Having a client is rarely about just handling the hosting. You effectively become a technical resource and field all the duties that entails.
