Exactly what I've been doing for years.  From a hosting perspective, web
designer customers can be your best customers.  The good ones need little
to no support, and bring lots of customers your way, or resell your
hosting service.  They'll choose you over an ISP that competes for their
design business at the drop of a hat, and shooting customers back at them
just makes you that much more attractive.

Of course, there's probably lots of money to be made in web design, but
it's incredibly time consuming...
