The IIS Team is eager to announce the official release of Microsoft FastCGI Extension for IIS 6.0 as a free download. For the first time, we are providing hosters and PHP developers full support for a stack of technology that enables reliable, scalable PHP hosting on production Internet Information Services 6.0 (IIS 6) Web servers.

This release could not have come at a more exciting time for the technology: previous beta releases on IIS.NET have had over 17,000 downloads and no less than six hosting partners have already begun offering PHP hosting on IIS 6 with the FastCGI Extension. In addition to the downloads, the IIS community site also has a very active forum of users exchanging ideas and providing feedback about the FastCGI Extension.

The Drupal Association spent approximately $11,000 USD on hardware. To help pay for these upgrades and support the Drupal.org infrastructure, please purchase a membership (individual, organization). Your membership will help the association plan and spend money to support the Drupal.org infrastructure and Drupal events such as Drupalcons for the next 12 months.
