I got a call from a forum member (from sheffield forum) about web hosting and I recommended him to a host from ukbf as my hosting, for the level he needed, would not be economical price-wise. I have already sent a client their way for a virtual DS again, because at that level I can't compete on price for the resource level.

I gather he seemed pleased for my impartial advise and reluctance to grab his money. One day, when he eventually dumps his Cubecart site, he likely will come to me for at least a quote for anew website.

Mind you, I did say he won't be able to send them a text message on a Sunday morning and get a reply within the hour.
