SingingEels.com Lull Soon To End

This past month has been a major lull for www.SingingEels.com, as we are all working professionals and this month has been very busy for all of us. We have a lot of things in the mix, including primarily more articles on LINQ, .NET 3.5 and other fun topics.

We're also planning on a full re-write into a .NET 3.5 environment with rich AJAX integration. We like to "eat our own dog food" so to speak, and I realize that we've had several articles on AJAX, LINQ, proper CSS design and the like... so we're going to re-focus and give the community a powerful and informative resource.

Who's going to host .net 3.5?

As far as I can tell not a single hoster has taken advantage of Microsoft's "go live" license for .net 3.5.

Yes they have - Discount ASP are offering .NET 3.5 hosting right now!

I know. So does crystaltech and others also. These are testing accounts with bandwidth and storage restrictions - not production grade hosting accounts. March 2008 is when .net 3.5 and vs2k8 will RTM. I am just curious what singingeels plan is.

We host with GearHost, and they do a great job with most things. I've had multiple shared accounts with them for over 4 years now, and it fits my needs very well.

I have asked, and they will not be adding 3.5 beta support on the shared servers, but they do offer dedicated hosting (more expensive) as well as dedicated virtual hosting.

I'll let you know what we end up going with (probably with a blog entry giving a review of 3.5 in a production environment etc).
