Working as a programmer for websites i have naturally to do with hosting companies. In Austria there are only a handful big Companies, e-Tel is one of them.
In e-Tel there are combined the old Hosting Companies eunet, nextra, e-Tel (of course) just to tell some big fishes. With the new year e-Tel has been bought by Telekom Austria, the biggest austrian phone provider.
We are now in the concept phase of a very big project, which i can't tell much about, but what i can tell is that it needs a whole bunch of servers load-balanced of course.
Getting offers from different Providers via Email, e-Tel called in and someone told me that it is "not cost effective" since they would have to create a whole infrastructure for our project.
I got offers from companies who are that small, that they may be smaller than the smallest branch of e-Tel. (i don't know for sure, but just to make my point).
I wonder what that means: is the company just not flexible enough or should somebody who's site is hosted there should be worried?
Worried or not i am puzzled.
