: Client asking for estimate to set up/ configure his server I am building a web application for a client. I never set up a server using IIS. He needs me to configure the server to work with

It depends on your location. Rates can be radically different depending on where you live. The best estimate is to find someone who provides that service locally.

Once you find him, I suggest you refer your client to him because setting a new server and making it secure requires experience which you admit not having.

You may subcontract the work for a fee if you are looking to add to your income but that depends on the relationship between you and you client. Some busy clients prefer this since it gives them a single point of contact for service and payment.

Should you really want to do it yourself, then charge something similar, probably a bit less, than the one you found locally. Expect to have to do some adjustments and monitoring for a few days right after the installation, to make sure you got everything right.
