Subject: Re: Dedicated Server vs. Shared Space
My recommendations are:
"outsource at the start" and as long as it makes sense to do so.
Concentrate your efforts (and those of the client) in getting operational
as soon as possible, meeting customer needs, and getting a ROI.
Don't start by hiring installing a bunch of infrastructure with a long
lead time and delayed payback.
Pick an outsource host, developer, etc. who can evolve with the client from
simple site hosting
dedicated servers
co-location
client site installation & training
This way you are putting the priority on results (where it should be)... the
needs of the system will evolve as the results are realized.
