If you were at Dreamforce last year, you remember the excitement when Force.com Sites was demoed for the first time. Today, we are thrilled to announce that Force.com Sites is generally available.

A revolutionary new capability of the Force.com platform, Force.com Sites allows you to run your Web site and Web applications in our cloud. No hardware. No software. No infrastructure required. Just your Sites and our Cloud.

Over the last few months, 85 companies had access to the Force.com Sites customer preview. The sites and apps they built had 38 million page views and served more than 5 terabytes of data.

We saw some amazing Web sites and apps built on Force.com Sites in the preview program. Customers and partners built sites for e-commerce, recruiting, ticketing and scheduling, social networking, community management and much more.  

Many of them are already live, like this Crocs Ideas Site,

Starbuck's Pledge 5 campaign, and

Dell's Social Innovation Competition site.

You can check out a showcase of sites created in the customer preview at http://www.force.com/sites.

And, here's a video that shows how to get started.  What kind of site are you going to build?
