DiscountASP.NET, a provider of ASP.NET website hosting services, announced that it will offer a new Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (aka SQL Server "Denali") hosting beta program to all DiscountASP.NET web hosting customers at no additional cost to them. DiscountASP.NET will offer its customers the currently available version of the SQL Server 2012 beta, SQL Server 2012 RC0.

DiscountASP.NET customers can enable their free SQL Server 2012 hosting beta sandbox database through their hosting account control panel. The beta will end a week after the official SQL Server 2012 launch, which is scheduled for next year.
