The DiscountASP.NET and Richer Components partnership provides ASP.NET developers with access to leading ASP.NET components for building next-generation web applications. Customers can develop web applications using the component evaluation version on their local development environment and upon uploading to DiscountASP.NET webservers, the components will be fully functional.
Under this partnership, DiscountASP.NET customers can also receive a 15% discount on any purchase of Richer Components component suite. In addition, Richer Component users can get 6 months free hosting for the first year of DiscountASP.NET's base ASP.NET hosting annual plan.
"We now offer the latest RichTextBox and the new RichMessageBoard components on both our Windows 2008 hosting and Windows 2003 hosting platform." said DiscountASP.NET's Vice President of Marketing, Takeshi Eto.
