I've found it economical to run my own hosting service, and dedicate it 
exclusively to my clients. I also use a back-end product called Plesk. It's 
OK, but I'm sure that there are products that might do as good a job as 
this one. Plesk takes care of all of the stuff such as creating new 
domains, email addresses, ftp, managing certain services, etc... It has the 
additional benefit of allowing your client to self-manage a large number of 
things, such as email accounts, etc...

Also, as a best practice, keep a password database of some sort. Lot's of 
them around, choose your favourite.
