From what I can tell no one answering his pointed out that you have the core of a very very good business. And since you can roughly predict how long you will take, you can now bill out at whatever amount makes your life most comfortable.
I am fascinated that you have done enough of this work to know that you can estimate (to yourself) about 10 hours per job. I can also tell that you are a kind person, because you are clearly undercharging and you even felt guilty for solving a problem fast.
As the owner until recently of a web based business for 20 years, I would have loved access to a resource like you. I assure you that when a website goes down, the owner will normally be thrilled at an estimate of, say, $2000 for 10 hours’ labor (not that you would disclose this number; I mentioned because it means the turnaround would be fairly fast).
You should be loving life right now. The only reason you aren’t is because you are undercharging by a lot.
