Finally Microsoft has released URL Rewrite Module for IIS 7.0 CTP1. Many hosting providers were asking about this.
Now you can move a php website hosted with Apache to IIS7 and manage to get url rewrite rules to work in minutes.

Ever wanted to know more about securing your php web sites? The information and tools from PHPSecInfo is the perfect place to start.
PhpSecInfo provides an equivalent to the phpinfo() function that reports security information about the PHP environment, and offers suggestions for improvement. It is not a replacement for secure development techniques, and does not do any kind of code or app auditing, but can be a useful tool in a multilayered security approach.
Surfing the internet and some news websites last night I found 2 very and i mean very interesting articles. Finally some of my predictions came true.

Hello everyone. I'm Dan Petru, Sales & Marketing Specialist at DotNetPanel Software.
I am extremely pleased to be the first starting this blog. I will try to post interesting stuff here.
I always wanted to have a blog but I never had the time. So much information cross my eyes daily and sometimes I have to write my thoughts because I keep to forgetting things.
You guys wanted us from DNP to have blogs and write stuff. So, because all my team is really busy with the new website and complicated code for the latest Microsoft Software - DotNetPanel integration (new service providers) I have to keep your attention. I'm the guy with advertising, sales, small technical support, researching new ideas and possibilities.
I have 3 years experience in hardware, 2 years in selling software and 2 years in the hosting world and .net software. I'm the guy for pretty much anything in everything. In the last year I’ve managed to build a small size datacenter from 0 and a hosting environment based on Microsoft and DotNetPanel software that pretty much runs by itself. We would probably meat at the EMEA Hosting Roadshows that we plan to participate.
I want to tell you a little secret. I have some experience in .net coding and I’ve never seen with my eyes so well written source code like Feodor and Pavel writes. In my opinion DotNetPanel success it's based on their clean & quality code. I can hardly wait to see support in DotNetPanel for the new Windows Server 2008. Not to mention Windows Media Services. The second thing that I noticed to my team is the support. My god, they rock. They should be an example for all software companies when it comes to technical support. I've learned here what is the meaning of Gold Class Technical Support.
So, enough about them.
I hope I will be at least the half as fast they are.
I want to ask you what do you want me to write in my blog. Do you want DotNetPanel team related info? Do you want new DotNetPanel documentation, web hosting guidance & best practices ? Early information of future DotNetPanel service providers ? With what do you want me to start?
See you soon!
