Aplus.Net Introduces Microsoft .Net and Windows 2003 Services

Aplus.Net (www.aplus.net), a world leader in web hosting and domain services, has announced today the introduction of Microsoft .Net and Windows Server 2003 services.

Ivan Vachovsky, CEO of Aplus.Net comments: “We are pleased to offer our clients the very latest technology from Microsoft. It is clear that the .Net architecture represents the next wave in web and applications hosting. Our clients expect the fastest, most robust web hosting services, and Windows Server 2003 delivers that speed and reliability.”

The new service offerings are hosted on the latest release from Microsoft – the Windows Server 2003 operating system. Microsoft reports that Windows Server 2003 outperforms Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 by a dramatic margin - typically performing two to three times faster on the same hardware.

Selected plans are completely compatible with Microsoft's .Net framework and include such advanced features as:
· Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0
· Microsoft Publisher Support
· Microsoft Office XP & 2000 Support
· Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Support
The new hosting plans will replace the Windows NT based hosting previously offered by Aplus.Net. The new Windows Server 2003 plans are available immediately to new subscribers. Existing customers will be migrated gradually to the new platform by the end of August, 2003.
Adds Mr. Vachovsky: “Although Aplus.Net is best known for its award winning Unix based hosting, some clients have applications which require the Windows platform. The new service takes the needs of such customers to the highest possible level and makes Aplus.Net the preferred choice for both Unix and Windows based hosting.”
