(webhosting.info)   Applied Innovations, a Microsoft Gold Certified provider of Windows-based Hosting solutions and Kentico Software, a maker of Kentico CMS, today announced that both the companies have partnered to offer a free Web site solution for .NET User Groups.

The company states that the solution, available through Kentico’s partnership with them, allows local .NET developer communities to collaborate between community members. Further it adds that the users will receive a free license of Kentico CMS Enterprise Edition and a ready-to-use Web site template that helps .NET user Groups to share information with group members; inform members about group meetings; publish articles and presentations from the meetings; communicate in discussion forums; distribute e-mail newsletters; create blogs; share files and photos; and create member-only areas.

In addition the company declared custom Web site template was created to meet the specific needs of .NET User groups. The template allows groups to focus on their community activities, rather than exhaust resources building a Web site.

“We are excited to further our relationship with the .NET user community as we continue to build a line of robust hosting services geared toward developers,” said Jess Coburn, CEO, Applied Innovations. “In partnering with Kentico Software, we are able to leverage their advanced CMS solution to create an out-of-box collaboration solution for .NET user communities.”

“.NET User Groups provide valuable information and training for their members and we are happy that we can support their activities,” said Petr Palas, founder and CEO of Kentico Software. “We are happy that we found a professional hosting partner, Applied Innovations, to offer free web hosting for .NET User Groups. Users get a complete solution and they can start editing their new Web site instantly.”
