MS lights a LAMP?

  • Article

Just today I ran into WebMatrix. And as I scratched my head wondering what it was, I had some really confusing ideas of what it could be. A DotNetNuke thingy? perhaps. Or something closer to SharePoint? maybe. But now that I’ve had a chance to review this page – not in a lot of depth, mind you – I realized that it was a LAMP replacement and more.

So in basic terms, if you want to build a website with a regular hoster, or if you’d like to actually do some data collection on it, then WebMatrix may be the right thing for you. Take your site, build it at home and then publish it online. And looks like WebMatrix is a platform you can just copy onto the hoster’s site. I guess you’d need .NET hosting enabled. Have a look and let me know!
