Hey, guess what? We just launched Windows 2012 hosting! What does that mean? It means .NET 4.5 and IIS 8 are now in production. As well as WebSockets, Dynamic IP Restriction, node.js, MVC4, WebMatrix 2, and a host of other improvements to the overall Windows/IIS hosting experience. Oh, and the default memory allocation for accounts on the new servers has been increased to 300mb. I know you like that. If you want to upgrade your existing account, you can do so with a simple click. Go to your Control Panel Account Info page, and there in the Server Information section you'll find an Upgrade link. A couple of things to note: - Windows 2012 is only available in the U.S. data center at the moment. It is coming to the European data center very soon. - ASP.NET 4.5 is only available on the new Windows 2012 servers. Windows 2008/IIS 7 severs are still running .NET 4. We may upgrade the Windows 2008 servers, but the .NET upgrade is an "in place" upgrade, meaning there is no rollback to deal with any unpleasant side-effects of the upgrade. We're still investigating. If your account is on a Windows 2008 server and you want to use .NET 4.5, you have to upgrade to Windows 2012.
