July 8, 2010 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) –
Newtek Web Hosting, the technology services division of Newtek Business Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: NEWT), today announced it added the Microsoft Web Application Gallery to the already long list of user-friendly tools available within the WebControlCenter, their account management application. The Web App Gallery is included for all shared hosting plans hosted on the Windows Server 2008 and IIS7 platform and provides users with easy installation of over twenty popular PHP and ASP.NET-based web applications.
Microsoft’s Web App Gallery includes widely used blogging platforms, content management systems, photo galleries, tools, and forum software. And with a 1-click, or near 1-click, installation process for all included apps, users can quickly and easily install the applications of their choice and have them online and fully operational within a few short minutes.
“Seeing the huge benefits of giving our customers an easier way to deploy widely used applications, our phenomenal Development Team placed a great deal of time and resources into building out the Web App Gallery tool within the WebControlCenter,” said Bob Cichon, President of Newtek Technology Services. “It not only saves time and makes things easier for designers and developers, but it adds significant value for hosting resellers using our environment for their own clientele.”
Newtek’s Web App Gallery tool is included free on all new ASP.NET and ColdFusion 9 hosting plans, which are both hosted on Microsoft’s latest web platform, Windows Server 2008.
Some of the applications included in the Web App Gallery, and supported by Newtek, includes WordPress, DotNetNuke Community Edition, Acquia Drupal, Umbraco CMS, phpBB, and Gallery Server Pro to name a few. Full details can be located on the Newtek Web Hosting website, located at http://www.newtekwebhosting.com/web-app-gallery.aspx.
