Beta version will include an improved programming model and infrastructure to help create scalable, secure, and stable applications.

HostMySite, a web hosting provider, yesterday announced that it is offering a free beta hosting trial for the next version of ASP.NET 2.0.

According to HostMySite, the new version which has tools to develop dynamic web applications quickly, will include an improved programming model and infrastructure to help create scalable, secure, and stable applications. Where other beta hosts restrict interaction with support systems, such as articles and phone contact, HostMySite.com encourages its ASP.NET beta trail customers to take advantage of all the support resources available to them, including phone support 24 hours per day, claims the company.

HostMySite.com's free ASP.NET beta hosting account includes features like 500 MB disk space, 100 MB MS SQL Server database, and 20GB of monthly transfer. It also provides a free downloadable copy of Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition.

"One of the goals at HostMySite.com is to provide the latest and most innovative technology like ASP.NET 2.0 to our customers," states HostMySite Marketing Manager Monish Sood. "By giving customers new product previews, we help them make informed decisions concerning their development projects and businesses."
