As 2009 races to the finish,
FastZone.com is en route to becoming an Internet Service Provider (ISP), enabled by Microsoft Virtual Server technology.
Research and experimentation are in process, and by yearend the new
configuration should be in place. The plan is for FastZone to host sites
of DAY Communications and in some cases, its customers.
Please look for
more information about this new service in January.
At present, Fastzone employs open source "PHP" computer language to
function. The decision to switch to Microsoft .Net and "ASPX" is founded
on what is called the "rich development environment" of the .Net
framework.
Keeping up with change in the web world is a constant- well, yes-
battle. Bronco busting in the wild west could not have produced nearly the whiplash as that resulting from riding the wave of new web technologies. But it's thrilling.
Please take a moment to watch the YouTube video on Net Neutrality.
It's important to be aware of challenges to Internet usage.
Small business owners: Take advantage of Microsoft's amazing free offerings!
A recent OfficeLive website customized by DAY Communications is:
Faceworks.com
Thanks for keeping DAY Communications in mind for web and print needs.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
