UK's Leading Web Hosting Company First to support Microsoft's .Net Framework
Fasthosts, the UK's leading Web Hosting supplier, today launched an exciting new range of hosting solutions including full and unrestricted access to Microsoft's .Net Framework, a UK market first.

Both accounts are hosted on the latest Windows 2003 IIS6 Servers running the .Net Framework version 1.1. Support for the .Net Framework gives Microsoft developers the tools to host Web-based applications, smart client applications and XML web services.
The new .Net accounts are part of an exciting new range of hosting packages from Fasthosts which include a number of innovative new features including; Spam Filtering, SMS Alerts, Site Builder, and Webmail.
Commenting on the launch Fasthosts MD Andrew Michael said, "We are proud to be the first UK Hosting company to support the full .Net Framework. This development is the culmination of sustained effort by the Fasthosts development team, ably assisted by our friends at Microsoft. The initial response from customers so far has been really positive and we are confident that .Net hosting will have a vital role to play in 2003."
Micheline Germanos, Sales Director EMEA, Microsoft added "I firmly believe that operating a robust, commercial virtual hosting environment, running the latest version of Windows within the .net framework, will be the most significant technology development in hosting in 2003. I am delighted to recognise Fasthosts as a leading hosting company in the UK in achieving this."
