The new WebsiteSpark program

Just recently, Microsoft announced a new program to spice up the small business segment. The new program called WebsiteSpark is a continuation in the line of BizSpark and DreamSpark. Now, WebsiteSpark is, as the name suggests, aimed at web application developers and companies running them.

The exact details are here, but the program basically gives approved members access to production use licenses of Windows Server and SQL Server, and allows you to run them to power Internet applications. Also, you will get a set of Visual Studio licenses to help you get your application developed.

As with the other *Biz programs, WebsiteSpark is a free, three-year program. At the end of the program, an exit fee of USD $100 must be paid, so all in all, the price per year is a mere $33.33. Not much, indeed!
