Why 62% of Companies Outsource:
The cost of implementing the necessary steps required to host a web site is probably the biggest reason why 62% of companies outsource this activity. A web server is merely the first of many purchases and ongoing expenditures required for hosting a web site. In addition to the expected upfront and ongoing costs, upgrading hardware and software and replacing malfunctioning parts can create unexpected expenditures.When outsourcing, the hosting company takes care of these issues at no additional cost. When outsourcing, your site can be live in days, rather than in the weeks or months it may take to purchase equipment and hire technical personnel. A web hosting company has a server to meet your needs in stock now, and has the personnel on-staff to set your site up quickly. The table above compares the operating costs in the first two years of an in-house operation versus outsourcing. Of course, these costs are estimates and may differ for any one specific situation. As well, this comparison is based on a Windows 2003 solution.
