ASP Web Hosting

What is ASP ?

“ASP ” stands for Active Server Pages, which are simply HTML pages with embedded scripts. These scripts can and are used to perform various tasks, such as accessing information from databases. For example, a designer could embed a script that accesses the site’s database, finds out who just logged in, and simultaneously offers a personal greeting to the visitor. Unlike other scripting languages, ASP scripts are not affected by the type of browser they are run in, as the page the script is installed on must request the script from the server. That’s what makes ASP so different – it runs on the server, not on the page. In fact, that’s why they’re called “Active Server Pages” – without a server, there would not be an active page.

What is ASP.NET ?

While the differences may seem minute to some, they are in fact very unique. ASP.NET is aimed at providing better performance by compiling server-side code to offer ease of development with the benefits of a compiled library. ASP.NET also contains similar terms to a Windows environment or application, such as controls and buttons. ASP.NET also allows the user to code in VB.NET, C#, J#, and many other languages, where classic ASP is limited to Perl, VBscript, etc.

All in all, it is really up to the user to decide whether ASP or ASP.NET would work for their sites and scripts. While many prefer ASP.NET, there are others who say ASP is still the best, so take a look at your scripting needs and feel free to ask us what would work best for that specific website.
