DiscountASP.NET Launches SQL 2008 Hosting in the US and UK

Innovative windows hosting leader, DiscountASP.NET, announces the launch of Microsoft SQL 2008 hosting, available to all DiscountASP.NET customers as a new hosting add-on option in both US and UK datacenter locations.

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 is a major update to its enterprise database. Some of the SQL Server 2008 feature enhancements include new data types, such as geospatial data types and date/time data types. In addition, integrated full text search, Language Integrated Query (LINQ), sparse columns, and large user-defined types are improvements that will help drive next-generation data-centric applications.

With the launch of SQL 2008 hosting, DiscountASP.NET introduces new SQL 2008 management tools in their control panel, including an on-demand SQL 2008 database backup tool, an automated SQL 2008 database restore tool, and an automated Attach MDF File tool.

The similar offer on SQL 2008 database hosting can also be found at ASPHostCentral.com.

ASPHostCentral.com have added features, in which it comes with SQL Express 2008 and Reporting Service 2008.

At DiscountASP.NET we offer SQL 2008 hosting in the US and UK and we own our servers. We do not host our customers at a dedicated hosting provider.

We also do not offer SQL Express hosting as it is not secure, not scalable and not reliable. The Microsoft SQL Team themselves recommends shared hosts NOT to offer SQL Express. See for example: http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlexpress/ar...nd-hosting.aspx

In fact, some well known shared hosts had to deprecate SQL Express from their service disrupting many of their customers sites because of all the reliability issues they were facing.
