I do want to know about some other services but as its web programming and Web designing am posting the same in other forum. Regards, Ciril Sreedhar
So I gather that outsourcing the server administration or hosting support is not considered good and no one is intrested in the same
Security and integrity of offshore "administration" companies makes it a big no-no for mission critical systems. Programming and web site development is doable, but administration, financial transactions etc??? I'm not sure if I would want to outsource that, maybe, but it would have to be a company located in the US.
Even if the company you dealing with have a good track record? Have good clientele in every part of the world for eg US, UK Australia etc. What you say in that case?
lol yea, the last thing I want is some foreigner playing around with my site and financial transactions. No thanks.
The long-term risks outweigh the short-term savings. Nothing against the cheap foreign labour, but it is just a tough sell when it comes to security.
Well the thing is here in my locality there are mulitple such firms and all are gaining good as well. I just want to har from DP members, but I DP's are not ready for that. Then what about php programming, ASP programming and Web designing. All are intrested in that and what would be the hourly price in these case?
