ASP net web hosting refers to Active Server Pages technology. This article will give a review of ASP net web hosting options. These Active Server Pages have the extension .asp which involves using ActiveX scripting. ASP is pretty similar to how CGI scripts work, however, programmers are able to work with the normal tools. When a person requests an ASP page the web page will be sent back with html code. The benefits of ASP is that its users can access databases, interact with objects on a page and can also create database driven web pages online.

ASP net web hosting refers to Active Server Pages technology. This article will give a review of ASP net web hosting options. These Active Server Pages have the extension .asp which involves using ActiveX scripting. ASP is pretty similar to how CGI scripts work, however, programmers are able to work with the normal tools. When a person requests an ASP page the web page will be sent back with html code. The benefits of ASP is that its users can access databases, interact with objects on a page and can also create database driven web pages online.

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. It would run any script commands and in turn sends the requested web page back to the web browser. Hence, it is the server who runs all the requests and sends the requested HTML pages back to the browser.

A WebMail feature is provided by most of the ASP web hosts that enables you to check your email online using your browser. You can check the email forwarding, email aliasesand email auto response features. A 'catch all e-mail' feature is also provided by many ASP web host providers. Nowadays, with an increase in spam mail, you have to look for anti-spam filtering feature in your ASP Web Hosting plan. Anti-Virus protection is also one that cannot be neglected.

If you need your web application to have databases, so that you can create dynamic database driven websites, then you have to look for the type of database that is supported by ASP web hosting. By default, all the ASP web hosting providers give support to MS Access database. If you need a more robust database like the MS SQL Server, then you may have to pay an additional fee for that feature. You can ask for an Enterprise Manager or a Web-Based SQL Manager to manage the database on your own. mySQL is another commonly available free database that is used for web applications. For an ASP Web Hosting with a database, you can also look for ADO/ADO.Net, OLEDB, MDAC2.8, and ODBC.Net support.

In summary, ASP hosting is ideal for web developers who intend to create websites that utilizes the Microsoft programming technologies especially ASP. There is a huge list of applications and features offered by an ASP hosting environment. There is plenty of room for creativity with all these available functionalities, which definitely suits those who plans to develop powerful, multi-feature websites.
