He groaned audibly. Then in a rather condescending manner he told me that they'd have to spend "tens of thousands of dollars" for the web servers and the Internet connection... It was "out of the question," he assured me.
I asked him, "Why don't you just get a web hosting service?" No money upfront and just a monthly fee. It's completely scalable so that you could start small and expand as your needs expanded. He had no idea what I was talking about.

Thanks, that conversation may be why he hired me and gave me 2 years of free bible college as their first webmaster/it guy
