Last year we launched the SharpForge hosting private beta. We’ve had some great feedback, made some improvements and now we’re ready go public. Hang on a minute, not a public listing, a public beta. SharpForge hosting is no longer invite only. Anyone can sign-up, create their own portal and start using the service right now. It takes 2 minutes and you can start immediately. The user documentation can be found at the project wiki.
This service is most suitable for organisations:
- who are comfortable with having their assets managed by a third party
- who have limited IT expertise
- who would like to evaluate SharpForge
This beta trial phase will go for 1 month where you can use the service for free. After that we will start charging based on what your usage is. If you are running a single project and using less than 5Mb then you won’t need to pay at all!
If you would like to run SharpForge on your own infrastructure you can still download it from the SharpForge project home page.
