We have just published the newest release of our ASP.NET CMS and social networking framework. This is a major upgrade, and most of the new features are focused on two areas: social networking and personalization. MonoX now includes a powerful and flexible discussion system and several new additions in the social networking and personalization systems.

Upgrading an existing MonoX site to the new version can sometimes be a complex task as there are many areas that may been changed or customized between versions. This article presents a handy step-by-step tutorial you can use to upgrade your old site/application to the newest version of MonoX.

In this post we are continuing to search through the Virtual Private Server (VPS) market, trying to find the best and the most affordable services to host MonoX and other similar  ASP.NET applications. Discover why Rackspace may be the right choice if you need the premium performance for your sites.

In the third part of our ASP.NET hosting review series we seeked to avoid the limitations of low end shared hosting environments. If you need much better degree of process isolation and application performance, a Virtual Private Server might be the best choice. Find out where you can have a fully featured virtual server for a very low price.

If a $20 ASP.NET hosting service described last time is still too much for your budget, we made an extra effort to find a super cheap, yet reliable hosting service for every pocket. Does $5 for a full featured service sounds better? It may sound too good to be true, but Arvixe succeeds in redefining the market rules in this segment.

Join us for a series of posts describing our experiences with popular ASP.NET hosting services. This time we will visit DiscountAsp.Net - see why it can be a good match for smaller scale MonoX installations.

We are proud to announce that MonoX now includes full support for ASP.NET profile infrastructure. All configuration changes are immediatelly visible in the front end profile-related Web parts, making it easy to include unlimited number of custom fields to the user's profile without any programming and without the need to recompile the solution.

MonoX has a preconfigured web.config for .NET 4.0 that needs to be used when you are installing MonoX on the .NET 4.0 platform. It is recommended to use this web.config before you start the MonoX installation. Note that you need to give the worker process account a write permission on the web.config to automatically setup the web application, otherwise you need to do it manually.

We have received a lot of feedback during the past couple of days since the newest release of MonoX was made public. Here are a few tips on how to start working with the sample project and produce a working custom solution in a matter of minutes.
