ASP.Net Web Hosting

Microsoft ASP.NET is a free technology that allows programmers to create dynamic web applications. ASP.NET can be used to create anything from small, personal websites through to large, enterprise-class web applications. All you need to get started with ASP.NET is the free .NET Framework and the free Visual Web Developer. ASP.NET is a rich programming framework for building web-based applications. It offers outstanding support for both developers and administrators, providing improved ease-of-use, tool support, reliability, scalability, administration and security.
 

When your browser requests any web page with the extension .asp at the end instead of the more familiar .htm, the ASP web hosting company's server knows to interpret all asp scripts right then and there, prior to sending any HTML information to your browser. ASP hosting makes it possible for your website to appear just as you intend it to appear on anyone's computer regardless of the browser they are using.

As ASP hosting was introduced to the world by Microsoft, it typically works best on Windows computers, particularly those running newer versions of the Windows operating system. Before you can experiment with using ASP on any of your web pages, you must first download and install an ASP server on your system, such as the more prominent one - Microsoft's Internet Information Services (IIS). Fortunately, this server or Microsoft Personal Web Server (PWS) comes free as part of the Windows package.
