Default Starting with some freelancing, need advice

I'm going to start designing websites for people when I'm not at work for some extra cash, the problem is at my work all I do is design the website, my colleague sorts out all the hosting etc.

I need to know what I need from the client and what I should use for hosting and the domain name etc....

Also, what should I charge? I'm not doing huge websites, just simple ones for small businesses.

Thanks, any tips would be appreciated!

I would say, charge by the hour, the bigger the site the more you get. Get a small sipple to use reseller account and host their sites to make a bit of cash. If you're starting out the chances of you needing massive databases are very low so a simple hosting option would be great for you to run.

Make sure you've got good understanding of a simple CMS, so many people want access to their content now it'll be a good idea for you to have one to use if you need to.

And of course, best of luck with the venture
