DiscountASP.NET, an ASP.NET hosting and SQL hosting provider, today announced that it received the Best ASP.NET Web Hosting award from the technology publication, Visual Studio Magazine in their 2005 Readers' Choice Awards.

The Readers' Choice Award winners are chosen by Visual Studio Magazine readers, who are developers that use Visual Studio .NET on a daily basis. The readers voted for their favorite products in 22 categories and the products receiving the awards represent the readers' choice for the best and most innovative products. Visual Studio Magazine announced the 13th annual Readers' Choice Award winners during a reception at the VSLive! May 2005 Las Vegas conference.

Patrick Meader, Visual Studio Magazine editor-in-chief, said, "Third party products represent an invaluable service to the Visual Studio developer community, and save developers almost incalculable amounts of time and money. It is always gratifying to see companies receive the recognition they deserve from the people who matter most: the developers who use their products."

DiscountASP.NET also recently introduced free ASP.NET 2.0 beta hosting for all their hosting customers.
