DiscountASP.NET, announces the Open Control Panel Initiative
with the
Phase I beta launch of a control panel API.
The goal of the Open Control Panel Initiative is to offer an
open
hosting system framework which provides customers with
maximum control
over their hosting presence management. To support this
initiative,
DiscountASP.NET introduces the control panel API, a
standards-based
ASP.NET web service API library which customers can use to
develop their
own web, desktop, or mobile applications that interface
directly with
their web hosting account. In this Phase I API beta launch,
DiscountASP.NET expose methods to display news and resource
usage, view
and modify email settings, and manage some aspects of
Internet
Information Services (IIS), such as recycling the
application pool.
To demonstrate some uses of the control panel API,
DiscountASP.NET
released two sample applications, which can be downloaded
from the
DiscountASP.NET Community Forum (http://community.dis
countasp.net). The
download includes the binary executable as well as the
complete source
code. Customers are free to extend these applications. For
example, the
Usage Alert Tool is a systray application that allows
customers to
specify their hosting account and set thresholds for various
hosting
resources such as bandwidth, disk space, email storage
space, and SQL
database disk space. The tool displays an alert when the
hosting account
reaches any of the thresholds. With this tool, the customer
no longer
has to log into the web-based control panel to review their
hosting
account resource usage.
