ASP web hosting refers to web hosting companies who provide support for ASP (Active Server Page). If you want a dynamic data-driven web site
you may wish to embed ASP code into your web site’s HTML Pages. When a user is viewing a web site that is developed using ASP, the pages can
change depending on the actions of the user. ASP code allows you to link your web pages to a database, where users can interact with the web
page by logging in and using their own personal settings or they can interactively place orders on your web site.
What is ASP?
ASP stands for Active Server Pages. Active Server Pages are HTML pages with embedded ASP scripts that are processed on the server before the
page is sent to the user. ASP allows you to create dynamic database driven pages, a user can access data in a database, and interact with page
objects such as Active X or Java components.
How does ASP work?
When you type a URL in the Address Box or click on a web page you are asking the web server to send a file to your computer; if the file
is standard HTML, then, when your web browser receives the web page it will look exactly the same as it did on the web server. However
if an ASP file is sent to your computer from the web server, firstly, the server will run the HTML code; and then, run the ASP code.
For example: the ASP code could be the current date, or time; and other such information.
How to find an ASP web host
You will need to find a web host who will host your website on a Windows 2000 server. It is safer to host your ASP pages on a Windows 2000
server as they are more stable and most ASP components work with IIS (Internet Information Services), specific to Windows. You also need to
consider if your web site uses a database (e.g. SQL, Access) and then make sure your web host provides support for the type of database
your web site uses.
