The two companies work together to ready for Windows 2008 hosting platform.

DiscountASP.NET, a Windows hosting provider, today announced a partnership with Znode Storefront, to provide Flexible ASP.NET e-commerce solutions for the Windows 2008 hosting platform.

Under this partnership, the company states that its customers can receive a 20% discount on the Znode Storefront application. Znode Storefront customers can get 6 months free hosting for the first year of DiscountASP.NET's base ASP.NET hosting annual plan.

"DiscountASP.NET officially launched Windows 2008 shared hosting in February 2008." said DiscountASP.NET's Vice President of Marketing, Takeshi Eto. "Because IIS7 is a major update, we believe it is important for us to work with our partners to prepare for Windows 2008 hosting. I am happy to announce that the Znode storefront application is fully compatible with the DiscountASP.NET Windows 2008 hosting platform."

"Although we extensively test the Znode Storefront platform internally, we believe that it is important to test on a live shared hosting environment to experience deploying our application like our customers would experience,” said Vish Vishwanathan, CEO, Znode. "Being an early adopter of new technology, our partner, DiscountASP.NET, allowed us to thoroughly test on their live Windows 2008 shared hosting platform before our newest version was released."
