Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – March 7, 2006 – Affinity Internet, the leading web-based services provider for small businesses, today announced the launch of a new bundled database management and web hosting solution built on Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition.  The new offering gives small business owners a complete hosting and database package, delivering increased scalability, reliability, performance, security and control over their database driven web sites.   
Affinity has combined its web hosting service package with SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition to offer customers a bundled solution that has both rich database features and reliable web hosting.  The bundle is configured around a 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 processor, with 1024 MB of RAM and dual 80 GB hard drives, offering customers larger disk space and the opportunity to work in an environment where there is no competition between users for disk space or processing time.  Additionally, each bundle is designed to physically isolate data and applications, aiding disaster recovery and increasing performance.  Customers with large-scale data warehouses or ecommerce sites will now have the ability to better manage data with features including unlimited database size, full-text search, back-up log shipping, import/export capabilities, and a debugging tool.
