digital.forest, a Bothell, Washington-based hosting provider, recently expanded its database- and application-hosting services to include support for 4D. The company announced the new capabilities at the 4D Summit Conference 2000 in San Diego this week.

"We're very excited about supporting 4D," says company President and CTO Chris Kilbourn. "It's a powerful database environment, and many clients will enjoy having it as an option." Already known as a pioneer in FileMaker Pro database hosting, digital.forest now offers expertise in 4D as well as Microsoft SQL Server 7.0, MySQL, WebObjects, and QuickTime Streaming. "We are pleased digital.forest is now supporting the 4D community. digital.forest's experience with managed services for database- and application-hosting will be a significant benefit for 4D developers," says Brendan Coveney, President, 4D, Inc.

digital.forest has recently altered its business strategy to establish a position as a premier database- and application-hosting company. "While we have always offered premium service, our focus now is serving small and medium-sized businesses and corporate workgroups. These clients have a range of needs, and that means supporting multiple databases and Macintosh, UNIX, and Windows systems," says Kilbourn.

Founded in 1994, digital.forest is noted for its expertise providing responsive, expert technical supports to help deploy, maintain, and optimize Web-enabled databases and applications.
