KOSHT.com - Belarusian Internet portal, opened on 25 September 1999, is a popular search engine in Bynet prices. It consists of catalogs of prices, boards and classified ads, job vacancies and resumes, companies’ catalogs, forums and a news site. Kosht.com specializes in IT-topics and the problems of small and medium sized businesses. == History == The creators of Kosht.com are two graduates of the BSUIR (Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics) Department of Design and Technology - Dmitry Kachanovsky and Ilya Troshchenkov. The basic idea was that Bynet lacked a site at which buyers could get acquainted with regularly updated consolidated lists of products and prices from various dealers.〔(History of Kosht ) 〕 In the summer of 1999 Kachanovsky and Troshchenkov worked together in the JSC "Sota", which specialized in selling computers and accessories. Ilya was head of the retail department and also knew Accounting and Law. Dmitri worked as an engineer for PC maintenance and operation.〔 As a basic service they offered an opportunity for dealers to place their price lists and daily updated information. Thus, every day visitors could see what was offered, in what quantities and at what prices.〔 The initial cost of the launch of the project amounted to about $5,000. This amount includes the cost of used servers, a pair of used computers, printer, the cost of Internet access and rental premises.〔 The domain name kosht.com was purchased on August 16, 1999 and the first version of the site was launched on September 25.〔(KOSHT.com: No Bynet, there is an internet ) 〕 In the first months KOSHT.com was presented as a few spreadsheets typed in Microsoft Excel - price lists consisting of 276 entries from the two companies.〔 A new section - "Job Vacancies and Resumes" was added to job.kosht.com in May 2000. The "Private Bulletin board" section (bu.kosht.com) and forums were created in March 2002.〔 The site was re-designed in 2006 after which it acquired a more modern look.〔 A new information service - news.kosht.com featuring news, tests, analyst interviews and expert commentary – was added to the portal in March 2007.〔(Персональный компьютер № 6, март 2007 г. ) 〕〔(Новости на Kosht ) 〕 In May 2009 they opened companies catalog firms.kosht.com - guide to the Belarusian IT-business. A payment system of private announcements - bu.kosht.com using SMS-messages was created on August 25 of 2009. A new version of the portal for mobile devices was launched on the tenth anniversary of the establishment of the portal on September 25 of 2009. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kosht.com」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
