I just ran across this offer for User Groups, so I'm definitely going to have to investigate.
Telerik (the controls guys) are offering a free standard license ($899) along with free hosting from discountasp.net for user groups.
And I do have to say that the showcase sites don't look half shabby:
The Nashville user group has had its web site under overhaul for way too long, and this might be just the thing to get the site knocked out (look Ma, no code!).
I've had great experiences with discountasp.net in the past, so that's a definite win.
I originally had intentions of moving the site to Community Server but recently learned that CS + discountasp.net is a bad combination. Without any load, CS eats about 100MB of memory, causing websites to hit their memory usage threshold at the hosting provider (and having their App Pool recycled). That's just nasty.
Maybe Sean (a Los Techies rock star) will some day fix this for us. :-)
