Rotterdam to Amsterdam is 8ms. I use Leaseweb direct for some clients, transparent, but I charge separate for management hours. Different invoice, different line. Cleaner than hiding markup in hardware.

This is the actual hybrid. Disclose host, disclose labor, let client optimize. Some drop management later, keep host. I have seen this.
So if I tell them GreenCloudVPS and charge for my time separately, that's okay? I thought white-label was normal. My first client just asked "who do you use" and I panicked and said "a partner."

Now you have to maintain that fiction forever. Or correct it. GreenCloudVPS is 2-40 USD, your management has value, just be straight.
Medyo disagree diba? Filipino clients especially, they see "management fee" and think bakit ang mahal for "just clicking." Bundled mas easy to sell. Same result, different psychology.

Then your proposal failed. I write what I do: monitor, patch, restore test, 2hr response. Not "management." Specifics.
Following. Currently white-labeling Contabo and sweating.
