Aspspider Reopen Free Asp.net 2.0 Hosting registration

Sunday, January 27th, 2008 by rubypdf

I just found aspspider reopened the free asp.net 2.0 hosting registration, it still supports Ms Sql Server Express 2005, but limits 10M space and automatically insert Kontera ad script.
btw, I installed ASProxy(a web proxy developed in ASP.NET 2.0) on my new registered one. And my another one has some PDF creation and manipulation demos base on iTextSharp.
