NEW Windows Hosting Plans on ValueWeb

"Microsoft hosting platforms provide the flexibility, security and scalability that service providers such as Affinity (ValueWeb's parent company) require to help customers design and deliver value-laden applications and services over the Internet," said Pascal Martin, general manager of Worldwide Hosting Solutions at Microsoft Corp. "With Windows as its hosting platform, (ValueWeb) can best leverage the vast ecosystem of Microsoft developers to cost effectively deliver valuable tools and services to its customers."

ValueWeb engineers and architects are among the most experienced Windows platform specialists in the world. We are also a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner - the highest-level of competency for delivering Windows-based solutions. As such, we will utilize our partnership with Microsoft in order to continue offering you solutions incorporating the software giant's latest technologies.

Our ValueWeb Windows packages not only include Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0 FREE with every plan, they also leverage a wide-range of Microsoft technologies on the back-end such as Microsoft Active Directory (AD), Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) and Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), guaranteeing security and reliability.

The ValueWeb Windows Advantage
ValueWeb is the best choice for Windows hosting because this platform has been, in effect, designed by our customers. We spoke directly with our customers in order to get a clear understanding of their priorities. Our Microsoft Gold-Certified development team engineered ValueWeb's Windows platform to meet those priorities, and our services are deployed on the most sophisticated hosting architecture in the industry. Our research revealed four fundamental requirements:

• High Availability. ValueWeb's Windows platform is based on a clustered architecture, enabling industry-leading uptimes. Your website is guaranteed to serve.
  
  
• Scalable Microsoft SQL Server Solutions. We offer up to 2 GB of SQL Server storage space. Most hosts cap the storage at 100 MB, leaving customers in a very tenuous position when the imposed limit is reached.
  
  
• Ease of Use. We have included auto-installers of the most useful and dynamic Web applications, including eCommerce, blogs and community portal web sites. Our user-friendly control panel provides a single point of access to advanced web server and email configurations.
  
  
• Flexibility. ASP.NET 2.0 application developers require a solution that allows them to express their creativity in a flexible yet secure environment. We provide our customers with the ability to pick and choose their applications, create custom error pages, change documents, and order and customize directory permissions at will.
