ASP Website Hosting

ASP website hosting is an option for those who need the latest generation of flexibility in building their web pages. ASP stands for Active Server Pages. ASP is a language that is used for web development, and is embedded into the HTML of your page.

ASP is a server side scripting language developed by Microsoft, and integrates with typically a Windows server (rather than UNIX/Linux). When ASP code is encountered, the ASP interpreter is invoked by the server. The interpreter, which resides on the server, parses the script and produces the HTML code which the browser can understand, thus producting the page that is presented to the viewer.

The tradeoff between static HTML pages and dynamic ASP pages is that there is a tremendous amount of software work that needs to be done to build the page seen by the viewer. That work takes time, so response time tends to be sometimes noticeably slower. If you will be using active server pages, make sure you are running on a relatively new, top end, high memory, server.

Active server pages are becoming more popular, and ASP hosting is becoming more readily available than before. Still many shared server plans run on Linux which typically does not support ASP. If the specifications do not state that ASP support is part of the package, you can be fairly confident that it is not. Some hosting provides charge extra for ASP support. Part of the reason is that Linux is a free operating system, the Windows server operating systems are not free.
