6. A small design agency you are consulting for will be creating client websites and wants to purchase a web server so they can host the sites themselves. How will you advise them on this purchase?

Explanation:

The best way to advise the agency in this matter would be to help them completely understand the total cost of ownership of the server. This includes the server itself but many other factors as well. Such as any and all server software and application software that they will need, an IT server manager, facility costs, security costs, backup features. These are some of the main costs that they will be incurring but there may be more unforeseen costs. Therefore the best way to advise them is by providing all of this information so that they can make the most informed decision possible.
