DiscountASP.NET Debuts New IIS Management Tools
May 07, 2008
Pasadena, California - (Website Hosting Directory) - May 7, 2008 - Two new IIS Manager Extensions in public beta for advanced ASP.NET hosting provider, DiscountASP.NET customers, includes a web.config backup, restore, and feedback module.
The public beta web.config Backup/Restore module can backup a web.config file and can restore the web.config file. The IIS Manager Feedback module allows customers using IIS Manager to submit feedback and suggestions.
Takeshi Eto, VP Marketing at DiscountASP.NET noted, ''One of the key features with IIS7 hosting is the ability to delegate website configurations to users. Since our goal is to provide our customers with maximum control over their hosting environment, we chose to implement IIS feature delegation on our Windows 2008 shared hosting platform.''
With the launch of Windows 2008 and Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0, Microsoft introduced IIS Manager, a new IIS administration tool which provides end users with a familiar user interface to remotely manage IIS7 server configurations. Using IIS Manager, DiscountASP.NET customers can view settings and manipulate their web.config files for features that have been delegated to them.
Mr. Eto added, ''With the introduction of additional toolsets available to manipulate the web.config file, there is also increased possibility of accidentally overwriting the web.config file. We wanted to address this issue and by taking advantage of the IIS Manager extensibility model, we developed the web.config backup/restore tool.''
The new IIS Manager UI extensions are launched as a public beta to get feedback from customers. To facilitate feedback submission, an IIS Manager Feedback module was introduced, where customers can send feedback and suggestions directly to DiscountASP.NET from within IIS Manager.
