[SOFTWARE DEV] Please recommend how I should manage multi-customer custom-made websites.

[iamonlyanegg]

Hi all,

I'm bootstrapping a software startup product idea and I'd like to set up a side business to generate revenue while my start up takes off.

I'm starting to get consulting work for customers that need medium-complexity, custom-made websites. The idea would be to host a range of projects, some more complex than others, where I can have fully independent and separate accounts for different customers.

This would allow me to:
1) Delegate an entire client's project to a contractor/employee without incurring any security risks for the other accounts.
2) Separate billing and resource use on a per-client basis.
3) Have the client's engineering team manage it if they wished.

Question: What is the recommended way to provision and manage separate cloud environments for separate clients that need custom-made websites?

I'm thinking of setting it up with AWS which I'm familiar with, but I'd love to hear from other more experienced entrepreneurs.

Thanks a lot for your feedback,
