@pneves yeah probably will, it's not a lot of work but it's the exact thing I said would happen and they didn't believe me

pneves3328y@adamdwalker When I do a job for someone I give them two minor/médium changes for six months (after they approve the final release) and for small updates for two years. After that they know that they will need to pay for more.
Ask what you deserve :) -
@pneves I think I might be able to convince them to actually host some of the content (probably not all) but that should save me from having to do this every time they want something new
-
pneves3328y@adamdwalker It's a way, but if they refuse to work in the best way, they can't refuse to pay the work. I think that here you should choose the best way for your sanity and your pocket :p
-
@pneves oh yeah, I certainly don't mind getting paid for this but it's pretty dull work and I've usually got better stuff to be doing

In Life, you can never give two options to people like that if they're technically unviable. Say "We need to host things on your server." instead of "... or we host it somewhere else but that can lead to problems"
