ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 (formerly known as "Atlas") allows programmers to quickly create more efficient and interactive web content that works across the most popular internet browsers. With this framework, web developers can enhance existing web pages, or create next-generation interfaces, with powerful AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) components. The main benefit to programmers is that the AJAX interface accesses remote services and data directly from the web browser, thereby reducing the number of post backs to the host server. This action makes for a more seamless and natural experience for the end user.

“We are extremely pleased to offer ASP.NET developers support for this innovative framework,” said Robert Cichon, CrystalTech’s President. “CrystalTech is completely committed to bring the latest technologies, like ASP.NET AJAX, to our customers quickly and affordably. With our feature-packed and economically-priced web hosting plans for ASP.NET 2.0, we want to provide our hosting customers the first opportunity to use this technology and take their websites to the next level.”
