What is ASP Hosting ?
Asp Server Hosting
ASP hosting is a server-side scripting environment that uses the Active Server Pages (ASP) technology. An ASP web page is easily identifiable with the asp extension on the URL.
ASP hosting works in similar way as other server-side scripting technologies. When your web browser sends its request to the web server, the web server will call ASP which would process the requested file.
ASP hosting provides a platform for web developers to explore their own creativity and design customized web solutions.
In summary, ASP hosting is ideal for web developers who intend to create websites that utilizes the Microsoft programming technologies especially ASP. Web hosts can publish static websites by merely using a web server like Apache, Personal Web Server Services (PWS), Internet Information Services (IIS), etc. To publish dynamic pages, web hosts must run these pages using a web server and a web scripting language. ASP hosting can run dynamic pages.
Writing ASP requires programming skills and familiarity with the ASP syntax. ASP hosting is a requirement for ASP web pages. Otherwise, if you have your ASP website hosted in a non-ASP hosting provider, you are knocking on the wrong door. Your ASP website is non functional in a non-ASP hosting.
Various web host providers offer ASP hosting
They vary though in their ASP hosting features. The ASP hosting providers HostExcellence, iPowerWeb and Lunarpages use Windows as their operating system. Hostgator offers ASP hosting without using the Windows operating system since it makes use of ChiliASP. Another technology, which runs ASP without Windows, is InstantASP. It can also be noted that no one among these ASP hosting providers offer ASP hosting exclusively. The trend is ASP hosting is just one of the services of web host providers.
