Who determines where to host a server?
If it is expensive to host a server locally, why does the CCK not start by leading the pack? I guess this is one of the things which makes it hard to do some businesses in Kenya.
I wonder what really we can say to celebrate CCK's decade?
Ok. CCK can actually afford a server. We can install and configure what is needed to host the website (if we feel philanthropic enough) and they can host it at KDN. They will need a Systems Administrator to manage the server. That's a cost. KDN will charge for co-lo. Another cost. KDN may charge for bandwidth. Another cost.
Now I think the logic is that if you compare these costs to what you get outside there (where bandwidth has been cheap for a long time btw) then it makes sense to host out there.
There may be better reasons than I know thoug:)
