Set them up yourself. That’s what people are paying you for, unless they say specifically otherwise
- bobbobarker 4y agoThat's a good point - but how would you ensure that you don't get burned by not getting paid? Do you shut off all services if they don't pay you, which in this case you're potentially out $$$. Especially with something like Google's geocoding API if the site you're building has a lot of requests and you're fronting all those costs you could be out a lot of money.
- fragmede 4y agoThere's no one size fits all. It sounds like GP's hosting costs are O($100/yr) at which point they're not out all that much due to non-payment. To contrast, if you're using Google maps' expensive Maps API, billing monthly seems like the obvious solution.
