ASP Hosting Explained

ASP stands for Active Server Pages and is a Microsoft server-side scripting technology that you can use to build powerful dynamic Web applications. ASP pages are files having ".asp" extension that contain HTML tags, text, and script commands. ASP pages can call ActiveX components to perform tasks, such as connecting to a database (MS SQL Server, MS Access, MySQL...) or performing a business calculation. With ASP, you can add interactive content to your Web pages or build entire Web applications that use HTML pages as the interface to your customer. ASP applications are easy to develop and modify.

You don't need any special software to write an ASP page. An ASP page can be written with any text editor.

ASP is browser independent because all the scripting code is executed on the server and the browser only gets a normal HTML page as a result of server-side scripting.

VBScript is the default scripting language for ASP, but you can use JScript and even Perl if you want to.

All of our hosting plans are ASP enabled.
