Cha-ching!
Government contracts can be quite rewarding, and in the case of the Samos municipality in Greece, the task involved appears to be minimal.
As reported on the Greek government portal Diavgeia.gov.gr that publishes such contractual agreements, the project involved implementing the necessary DNS changes, in order to redirect three domain names:
- Vathi.org
- Vathi.gr
- Samos.gov.gr
Per the project’s particulars, these domains would be redirected to the web site IslandOfSamos.gr – the cost was approved at 3,159 euro, including tax.
Wow!
For a task requiring a few minutes of an admin’s time, as far as we can tell, this appears to be the most expensive DNS change in recent memory! 😀
I’ll do it for half the price 😉
You’ll probably find, that although its only 5 mins work, the bureaucratic rules and insurance requirements added about 3,150 euros to the price.
