Hosting Plans for Whidbey?
-
Anyone know if there are any "educational hosting plans" (as in Brinkster's) out there for VS2005? Thought I might get my feet wet with Beta 2. Thx.

I don't know of any, but I'm also pretty sure that until Beta 2 of Whidbey is released there are unlikely to be any -- I'm sure someone will tell me if I'm wrong but I think that one of the restrictions within the EULA for pre-Beta 2 releases is that the .NET Framework 2 isn't licensed for production, so any hosting companies (in my opinion) would be prevented from offering such a plan. However, when beta 2 is released, I seem to remember reading that these restrictions would be lifted, allowing companies to put beta code into production. Of course, I would assume that hosting companies would be wary of deploying beta code, particularly to non-enterprise/free customers. -- Paul "Put the key of despair into the lock of apathy.

Thanks for answering Paul. I think you're correct in everything you said. Actually, I would be willing to pay for the service, but was meaning that it would be for education/non-production use. "Where there's a market, there's a way!":laugh: Thks again.
