A blue chip company pays you for the bureaucracy involved in getting the contract, handling various demands on your offer after you are the identified supplier, levels of bosses to please and also the cost of assuring them that you are a stable and worthy supplier.

These are business, not technical issues.

Came across a blue chip company paying web hosting fees to the tune of Millions per annum.

Was wondering about 2 things:

1. What could be the possible drivers of these kind of costs for web hosting?

2. What variables can be "played with" to bring down the costs?

Best,

MK
