I downloaded and installed their forums product on one of my company servers last night. The server runs windows 2003 standard with SQL server. It installed like a dream... no problems, easy wizard options. It's up and running and works just fine.
I'm going to be trying this forum thing out for my business, allowing customers and potential customers to give feedback to my company and to eachother, we'll see how it goes. It's pretty empty now since I just released it, but if you'd like to take a peek its:

Also, I have built and released the free trial server for my asset management software. For a host I went with a windows 2003 server from Server Beach . My experience so far with them has been fantastic! They had my server up and available in less than 4 hours, and I feel the price was more than reasonable for what I got. I actually had a small issue configuring smtp services for email notifications in the program, so I used one of my 3 free trouble tickets. A tech got on it and solved the problem in less than 2 hours. That's damn good service for less than $150 / month! I'm really not much of a system administrator, when I put up a live customer server after the trial/beta period I'm going to outsource that part.
Anyway, being that the trial is up, if anyone's company has a need for a nice web-based asset tracking system + help desk and doesn't want to pay a fortune you should check me out and get a free trial.
