ASP is a short for Active Server Page. ASP web hosting refers to those web hosting companies who provide support for ASP. If you really need a dynamic data-driven web site we recommend you to use ASP scripts in your web site's pages. Your web site made with ASP will be interactive and "smart". When a user is viewing an ASP web site, the pages can change depending on the actions of the user. ASP code allows you to easily link your web site pages to any database, so users can interact with your web site by using their own personal profiles or can interactively place orders and buy your goods.

HTML pages with embedded ASP scripts are processed on the server before the page is sent to the user. For example: the script "looks" at the user's settings and changes the language, colour scheme and currency in online shopping cart.

How to find an ASP web host

You will need to find a web host who will host your web site on a Windows 2000 or 2003 server. It is safer to host your ASP pages on a Windows 2000/2003 server (instead of Windows NT4) as they are more reliable and fast. You also need to decide if your web site uses a database (e.g. MS SQL 2000, MS Access, mySQL) and then make sure your web host provides support for the type of database your web site uses.

Important: Do not buy Linux/Unix web hosting if you need ASP scripting! Some of Linux/Unix web hosting providers state they do support ASP, but it is not high-grade service, because ASP is made for Windows only. ASP in Linux/Unix has a pitiful sight and loses the most of advantages.
