February 07, 2008 - DiscountASP.NET integrates SmarterMail APIs
Web host DiscountASP.NET announced that it has completed the integration of SmarterTools’ SmarterMail APIs into their Open Control Panel. The Open Control Panel web service API library provides DiscountASP.NET customers with the ability to develop their own web, desktop, or mobile applications that interface directly with their web hosting account.
“SmarterTools already provides powerful APIs out-of-the-box with their SmarterMail product, so naturally we wanted to integrate them within our Open Control Panel framework,” remarked Takeshi Eto, VP Marketing at DiscountASP.NET in a company release. “Our vision is to continue to expand the Control Panel API and offer our customers the choice and flexibility to manage their hosting presence either using our hosted control panel application or through web services and customized user-driven solutions.”
DiscountASP.NET customers can now recover email account lists, create/delete email accounts and modify passwords through Web services without accessing the hosting control panel or the SmarterMail webmail client. Customers can also activate access to the API library through their control panel and are assigned a unique authentication Key when using the SmarterMail API. Furthermore, a Sandbox Key is provided to enable customers to test their applications without the hazard of making changes to their hosting account.
