WebFusion is offering Microsoft Windows Server 2008 on two packages, Fusion Business and Fusion Developer, combining performance enhancements from Microsoft with WebFusion’s reliability, 24x7 UK support and UK data centres. 

Launched by Microsoft last week, Windows Server 2008 marks a step change in web hosting with enhanced management, security and reliability. Microsoft Windows Server 2008, running on WebFusion servers, responds to customers’ needs that extend beyond basic website hosting and POP email. 

The new packages running Microsoft Windows Server 2008 on WebFusion’s world-class platform include the benefits of IIS7 (Internet Information Services), ASP.NET 3.5, PHP 5, Microsoft SQL Server 2005, shared SSL certificates and virus protection for all mail.

“Our research shows that end users are asking for hosting on Windows, particularly where their requirement is to move beyond basic web hosting,” says Martin Warker, UK Partner Hosted Services Manager, Communications Sector at Microsoft. “We work with many partners who add value to the hosting platform and to ensure that they have the ability to build out their service portfolios even further. These packages provide customers with real choice in hosting services.”

“We’re delighted to be amongst the first web hosts to offer the advantages of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 to our customers,” says Macsen Galvin, Development Director, WebFusion. “When internet applications are at the heart of a business, performance enhancements and the addition of new technologies to web hosting can make a dramatic improvement.”

Starting at £16.95 per month, Fusion Business on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 includes 6GB of disk space, 60GB of traffic per month, two Microsoft SQL databases and 1,000 POP email accounts. Fusion Developer costs £19.95 per month and offers 12GB of disk space, 100GB of traffic per month, three Microsoft SQL databases and 1,500 POP email accounts.
