Visual Studio 2010 1-Click Publish Hosting at ORCS Web

With Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1 released and available as a free download, we at ORCS Web have joined with Microsoft to provide a free testing account so that you can see for yourself how the Publish feature works for remote publishing. 

As of today, you can setup a new account free of charge here.  Note that this account is setup with ASP.NET 4.0 by default, which does not have a go-live license, so this account is for testing purposes only and cannot be used to host a production website.

Visual Studio 2010 now supports Web Deployment (MSDeploy) which is an impressive new technology from Microsoft, allowing rapid deployment of websites.  It’s fully secure since it runs over SSL, and yet it’s lightening fast.  It only copies the changed files and only the necessarily files, making deployment a breeze. 

VS 2010 totes a single-click publish option now.  Once you set it up, which is easy, you can deploy changes with one click.

I’ll follow up with a walkthrough with more information later this week, but I wanted to mention our hosting offer today.  We didn’t launch on the same day as Bing on purpose, but we can pretend that it’s all part of planned launch to keep up with the hype.  :)
