asp.net + min. contract?

[Gatorade]

Hi everyone,
I'm about to launch a commercial website in a couple of weeks, which requires ASP.NET and MSSQL 2005/8. I've heard great things about HG, but would like to clarify a few things.
I've read about Windows Hosting being launched at HG, but I can't seem to find more information about it. I'm looking for shared hosting (for the moment), so is there an option for me to be able to use ASP.NET, AJAX and MSSQL with the shared hosting?
Also, is it possible to host on a per-month basis instead of paying for an entire year upfront? Or, is there a minimum term?
Thanks for any help!

Currently only dedicated servers have the Windows option.

Thanks for the reply. Is there an ETA for shared windows hosting? I'd really like to host with HG, but I can't afford the dedicated servers at the moment.

I'm interested in finding out about that, too!

The best bet would be to email sales at hostgator dot com and ask there. There have been no indications on the forum of shared Windows hosting being rolled out any time soon.

We have reopened our shared Windows Beta. You would need to have a current Linux shared plan to qualify. Email windows@hostgator.com with your plan info and they can see about getting you set up on the Beta.

this is closed and seems not to have been a successful endeavor. Too bad. HG ends up sending clients who need this away.

Due to the high number of beta account requests we received from our March Newsletter, we've placed a hold on new beta account requests at this time. But this is only temporary, and we plan to open it back up for HostGator customers in the near future.

If you're interested in participating in our Windows beta, be sure to send us an email at windows@hostgator.com where we will provide you with an update regarding the current beta status.
