VisNetic WebSite To Be Discontinued January, 2004
Deerfield.com and Bob Denny announce “End of Life” for VisNetic WebSite
GAYLORD, MI — December 2, 2003 — Deerfield.com, a leading provider of Internet software and services for growing businesses, today announced that it will discontinue sale and support of VisNetic WebSite early next year. Further development of the web server software will cease immediately.
Authored by Internet pioneer, Bob Denny, VisNetic WebSite was the first web server developed specifically for Windows. Today, the product enjoys a loyal following of web developers and remains one of the most stable, fully functional web servers in the marketplace. “VisNetic WebSite is still the web server of choice for many web developers--both new and seasoned” said Mike Deerfield, CEO at Deerfield.com. “It is solid, well-tested software that boasts strong security features and support for quite a few web development tools.”
“That being said, the decision to end development was not an easy one,” Deerfield continued. “However, when Bob and I looked at the combined effects of the current economic climate and the proliferation of free web server products in the market space, we agreed that WebSite’s adoption rate was on the downswing, making this the right time to discontinue the product.”
Upon discontinuing the product, Deerfield.com will establish an alternative communications medium for WebSite users. Denny will participate in user discussions via this medium as his workload permits. “WebSite’s evolution has truly been a collaborative effort between myself and its users,” said Bob Denny, product author. “I have enjoyed the process and its participants and remain committed to making myself available to this group.”
Product Sales and Support
VisNetic WebSite, version 3.5.19, will be available for sale from Deerfield.com and authorized Deerfield.com Partners through January 31, 2004. Technical support for the product will be available via a web-based forum hosted by Deerfield.com through February 28, 2004.
