myhosting®
provides hosting services to thousands of developers
as part of Microsoft ASP.NET Resource Kit [March

Toronto,
Ontario --- March 16, 2004
myhosting.com, a leading global provider
of affordable and superior web and application hosting
services and a brand of SoftCom Technology Consulting
Inc. was one of five hosting companies world-wide to
be included as part of the newly released Microsoft
ASP.NET Resource Kit.
The ASP.NET Resource Kit, a valuable
collection of Microsoft development applications, aids
and other tools, was recently made available via download
to thousands of developers around the world. Hosting
companies were carefully selected based on their participation
in the ASP.NET Hosting Advantage Program.
"myhosting.com was a natural choice
for this program," says Shawn Nandi, product manager
for ASP.NET at Microsoft Corp. "As one of the earliest
adopters of Windows Server 2003, they show a clear understanding
of both the server and development requirements of the
Microsoft platform."
One of the requirements of the programs
was to provide full support of the Microsoft .NET Framework
and Windows Server 2003. This platform provides developers
with a robust, dependable application platform on which
to build and deploy powerful, connected applications.
The Resource Kit being distributed by Microsoft contains
sample code and development applications programmers
can use to develop software ranging from mobile devices
to e-commerce.
Each participant was also required to
make available a low-cost offering for hosting on the
Windows 2003 platform as well as a shared Microsoft
SQL Server plan, the backend database of choice for
Microsoft developers. myhosting.com now provides a means
through which a Microsoft developer can deploy their
applications on a commercial grade server for the equivalent
cost of a typical shared-hosting account.
“We are very pleased to have been
chosen to participate in this program and are determined
to be as competitive as possible in our pricing and
packaging of this technology,” says Michael Carr,
V.P. of Sales and Marketing at myhosting.com. “We
will continue to stand behind and support the Microsoft
platform and firmly believe these tool sets will be
used to create the next generation of internet applications.”
