Setelah tour ke beberapa kampus, timbul pertanyaan klasik “ASP.Net is great, but Windows Hosting is just expensive”. Hmm, this can't be right... why would Microsoft create the lovely ASP.Net if hosting it would be expensive.
You should visit this site:
Microsoft Service Provider License Agreement (SPLA).
From the English brochure, I quote:
”If you are an ISP providing shared or dedicated hosting
services, your software cost for deploying Microsoft
Windows Server Web Edition could be as low as USD
10.00*** per processor per month.”
The *** is the price for Windows Server Web Edition. What does Per-Processor means? It means if you have 10,000 users and your web server only have 1 processor, well guess what? You only pay $10!
I wish Microsoft Indonesia would open up a vacancy for someone to promote and take care of this SPLA programme...
