Microsoft .NET 3.5 (+ ASP.NET) Framework
LFC Hosting fully supports the latest Microsoft .NET 3.5 Framework, including ASP.NET 2.0, Visual Studio 2008® and the following additional .NET extensions:
The .NET 3.5 technology is a leading-edge Windows development platform that has rapidly gained popularity. If you do not currently require .NET support, it is likely that you will in the near future.
As a part of LFC's unique all-inclusive, no-hidden-fees approach, we were pleased to be one of the first hosts in our industry to adopt this new technology as standard and offer it free-of-charge with all of our business-oriented hosting plans, starting at only $9.95 USD/month!
LFC Hosting also takes .NET support beyond the level of our competitors by offering unmatched self-service administration through your LFC Control Panel:
- Manage ASP.NET user permissions instantly and automatically through a graphical directory interface
- Add additional .NET applications below your account or domain name roots, delete applications and recreate applications
- Even change the .NET Framework version used by each of your applications to either the latest .NET 3.5 (default) or .NET 1.1, offering support for legacy apps and the versatility that our valued clients have come to expect from LFC.
The unprecedented productivity of ASP.NET has been further enhanced by features introduced with ASP.NET 2.0, ensuring even greater productivity, performance, reliability and deployment. While ASP.NET offered a more attractive programming model, flexible language options and exceptional tool support, ASP.NET 2.0 makes web application development easier than it's ever been.
ASP.NET 2.0 allows for a 70% reduction in required code and also creates a lightning-fast server platform with better application tracing and performance. New features also include templates to ensure consistent design development, the ability to create custom class objects which preload controls and deliver layouts consistently on every page, as well as enhanced security features including Login and LoginStatus controls to provide direct links to login and logout pages, a LoginName control, a LoginView control, and a PasswordRecovery control complete with "I forgot my password" functionality. Moreover, with LFC's support of .NET 3.5, products created in Visual Studio 2008® are now fully compatible with our servers. Although ASP.NET 3.0 is not yet available, Microsoft has announced that it will be released shortly.
Finally, most competing web hosts limit the amount of disk space that your .NET files can occupy within your account to a low number, such as 10 MB, often preventing you from making use of some of its more advanced capabilities. However, at LFC, the disk space occupied by .NET files is limited only by the total disk space included with your account, ensuring ample space to take full advantage of your web presence.
Whether you are developing a site, personalizing an existing site, creating portals or concerned about security, LFC Hosting's support of the Microsoft .NET 3.5 Framework offers features that go beyond competing services.
Reliability, security, speed, superior resources and continued dedication to offering the latest valuable features and tools at no additional cost to our clients are what differentiate LFC Hosting in the marketplace and, most importantly, enhance your online presence.
