Well, I might have been doing it the wrong way. I added 'klasse.be' as a domain, which didn't seem to work (I got a 403 error trying to load the Typekit script).
I've now changed it to the subdomain of our testing environment and that works fine. So, am I right in assuming that I could simply add www.klasse.be to that list, and it would work for both our live site and the testing site? Even on a Trial account (we're going to upgrade anyway, so this question is kind of academic)

What most hosting companies offer is the option to bill you (the supplier) *or* the client directly. I, personally, would want to avoid the administrative hassle of keeping track of all those payments from my clients and would prefer direct billing, even if it meant i missed out on any agency markup. I'm guessing both systems have their supporters so Typekit would do best to provide both options from the get-go. – tvandeputte, on March 11, 2010 22:48

So you basically want something like a reseller account, similar to what many hosting companies offer? That would be very useful indeed.
An extra bonus would be if you could set your own price points, depending on what markup you'd want to take for managing your clients' accounts.

Subdomains appear not to be working. It's very confusing, since the Kit settings specifically mention 'domains', which suggests subdomains *are* allowed.
My guess is that subdomains were allowed in the past, but this has been disabled, yet nobody bothered to change the wording in the kit settings.

Frankly, I don't see the problem. Don't your clients pay for their own hosting accounts? Companies are used to paying recurrent costs, like electricity, telephone, Internet access, rent, whatever.
I get lots of raised eyebrows when I tell people you can't just use any font on the web if you want to keep text out of images/swf's. So, if people want to use more 'characteristic' fonts, Typekit has the solution. At a price, yes, a recurrent price even. If your clients are too cheap to pay $25 per year for this, they probably don't care that much about using a specific font, so my suggestion would be to use standard web fonts. I honestly don't see why any design company, no matter how small or large, would pay the Typekit subscription out of their own pocket.
