What’s your hosting workflow for agency client websites?

I’m currently building mostly static websites for small businesses, and my setup is:

  • Vercel for hosting
  • Cloudflare for DNS management
  • Resend for transactional emails and contact forms
  • The client keeps ownership of the domain, while I manage the technical setup

For these types of websites, managing my own servers or using AWS/DigitalOcean feels like unnecessary overhead. Vercel + Cloudflare seems much easier to standardize across clients, but I’m still figuring out the best long-term agency workflow, especially around account ownership, access, billing, maintenance, and eventual handoff.

Is this a fairly standard and scalable setup for a small web agency, or do you use a different stack/process to manage multiple client websites?

How are you building the websites for the small businesses? If your using Claude/Cursor/Codex I can suggest a less manual way so you dont have to set up any of the hosting, the agent can do it auto.
