Microsoft Offering Free Web Hosting to UK Students
Microsoft and WebFusion partnered to provide free web hosting to UK students. This free web hosting gives a chance to UK students to develop web applications using Microsoft development tools and test all their work in real time environment. This free web hosting includes Windows Server 2008, IIS 7, 500MB disk space, 1 x SQL 2005 database Support for ASP.NET 2.0, .NET 3.0, .NET 3.5, Classic ASP, PHP, CGI.
The main idea behind this joint venture of Microsoft and WebFusion to give free web hosting to UK student is that attract more-and-more new developers into Microsoft community. Most of the students don’t go for Windows hosting because there are cheaper options available. Windows Web hosting is far expensive as compare to Apache and MySQL hosting.
To qualify to get Microsoft and WebFusion free web hosting you need an email address with ".AC.UK" domain and promotional code. Students can get promotional code just leaving a comment on Ed Dunhill’s blog or students can use this contact form, while using this contact please make sure that you use your ".AC.UK" email address. Once you get the promotional code, it takes a day to start your hands on WebFusion server.
This free web hosting can be used for any purpose but legal and within the terms of conditions of WebFusion’s policy.

Hi
Its good that Microsoft is targeting the students from UK. However, they should be pointed towards some Asian countries.
