Thank You From Hosting University

The momentum continues at Microsoft Hosting University, as we grow as the online resource for product and platform information on the Windows Hosting platform for the breadth market in SPLA. At this point, we would like to extend a well-deserved “thank you” to our Reseller partners, who have provided us with support and feedback that has proven invaluable to our growth and to our success. This unique reciprocal relationship is one of the keys to success in an industry where changes can be difficult to keep up with.

By empowering our partners with an up-to-date knowledge-base of the latest in product, licensing, and marketing information, we’ve been able to help you find new ways to reach more customers, get your new SPLA partners to market faster, helped some of you grow your web presence with our cobranding project, and provided you with a resource that helps you and your SPLA partners find the information they need, faster and more easily.

We have several new tools to direct your attention to that are available on Hosting University. First, we’ve added a link to the recently launched Web Hosting Gallery, a new online marketplace for developers which provides hosters with a great opportunity to list hosting offers at no charge to target new customers. We also have added a link to the Hosting Deployment Accelerator, a tool that enables you to quickly find documentation for various hosting workloads. Finally, we want to ensure that our partners are ready to embrace the recent changes to the structure of the Microsoft Partner Network.

Read on to find the details on these promising new projects, as well as relevant case studies regarding virtualization, and thanks for helping us to continue the momentum!

Sincerely,
Matt Haynes
