ReliableSite was the first to launch the MS SQL 2008 Hosting platform on it's official release date. This is available on each of our hosting plans for a very low cost of $1.50 per database.
Deep integration of Language Integrated Query (LINQ) and data awareness. This new feature will let you write code written in LINQ-enabled languages to filter, enumerate, and create projections of several types of SQL data, collections, XML, and DataSets by using the same syntax.
SQL Server 2008 introduces new date and time data types: DATE, TIME, DATETIMEOFFSET, DATETIME2. The new data types enable applications to have separate data and time types.
Spatial Data Types help build spatial capabilities into applications by using the support for spatial data. Customers can implement Round Earth solutions with the geography data type, using latitude and longitude coordinates to define areas on the Earth's surface. Customers can also implement Flat Earth solutions with the geometry data type, storing polygons, points, and lines that are associated with projected planar surfaces and naturally planar data, such as interior spaces.
SQL 2008 now fully supports an integrated full text search. All SQL Server databases hosted at ReliableSite support full text.
Each database includes backup and restore tools for maintaining .bak backup files and restoring them from personal backups directly from within the control panel.
All databases are limited to 1 GB in disk size, over 10 times the size offered elsewhere at a fraction of the cost.
Our Shared Hosting, Reseller Hosting, and Clustered Hosting packages fully support SQL Server 2008. These hosting packages start at $5/mo.
