Well you know economic crisis and all, so everyone is thinking
of cutting cost (citibank workers got retrench, DBS workers got
retrench....etc etc), So boss being alittle on the kiasu side,
(though company is still making really nice profits at the moment),
told me to research into alternatives to cut cost from our existing
operating structure as well. So apparently hosting cost came up as
one of the ways that we can look into for cutting cost as well.
Of course there are other means for cutting cost too, some of
them are listed below
By the way any of you got any good ideas for cutting operating
cost to recommend? Like cheap suppliers for example?
Yeah, anyone out there got retrenched lately by the way? Is it
hard looking for jobs now? Asking around just in case my boss gets
any bright ideas. :P
You should probably post this as a separate thread on Chit Chat
or some other general forums to elicit more responses for such
questions. Besides, if he's asking you to do all the thinking, you
might as well become his boss instead.
I don't know how much is your company currently paying for web
hosting, but a good one out there would only cost you $100 per year
or so. I don't see why a company isn't able to allocate that amount
to it if they're serious about having an online presence.
