Feb, 2011 : DiscountASP.NET Extends Hosted TFS Promotion

📅 February 1, 2011 - Extends 30 day free promotion for hosted Team Foundation Server.

DiscountASP.NET, a Windows hosting provider, yesterday announced extending its 30-day free promotion for hosted Team Foundation Server (TFS) Basic for up to 5 users. The promotion expires at the end of March 2011.

The company explains that Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010 is a collaboration platform that is at the core of Microsoft's application lifecycle management solution. TFS hosting is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution provided by it for source control and bug tracking which integrates with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. With the company's hosted TFS solution, developers can use familiar Microsoft Visual Studio development tools to manage source control and track issues, whether the developer works alone or with a team of developers. The TFS hosting service starts at $20 per month per user. The TFS account comes with one collection, within which developers can manage unlimited projects. The customer gets access to a TFS control panel to manage their account, billing and TFS users and group members.

"We started the new year with a great promotion that was met with a lot of interest so we decided to extend the offer through the first quarter to allow even more developers to try out a hosted TFS solution without risk," said Takeshi Eto, VP Marketing and Business Development at DiscountASP.NET. "And our TFS hosting solution is a separate service from our web hosting service, so developers do not need be a web hosting customer to take advantage of hosted TFS."
