Cloud computing went through significant development during the last year. What started as a technology vision few years ago is now a widely used service provided by the most influential companies in the industry.
Although one could argue that most of these offerings are still somewhat immature and going through turbulent development, many companies are already adopting public clouds as the hosting platform for their websites or files. Obviously, we couldn’t stay aside and jumped into the cloud world with our support for the Windows Azure cloud platform. Kentico CMS can now run in Windows Azure and we are going to further enhance the support for various Azure services in Kentico CMS 6.0 later this year.
Bit-Wizards, our Gold Partner, have just released
6 Kentico-powered websites on the Windows Azure platform.
If you’re considering the cloud, but you’re not sure where to start, read this blog post on Windows Azure or take a look at our new Windows Azure Deployment Guide. As always, please feel free to contact us if you need any help – we look forward to meeting you in the cloud!

Spell-check as You Type in Kentico CMS
Although Kentico CMS comes with a built-in spell-checker, users often forget to check their spelling before publishing. In such cases, you can use the SpellCheckAsYouType (SCAYT) service provided by SpellChecker.net that checks your spelling and underlines the misspelled words. It smoothly integrates with FCKeditor used in Kentico CMS and it has a fully-functional free version.
Kentico customers receive 10% discount on the full version of SCAYT that comes with support for more languages and without banners. It can also be hosted on your own server.
