ASP.NET 1.1 Hosting and .NET 1.1 Hosting

ASP.NET is a free technology for creating dynamic web pages. It is part of the Microsoft .NET framework. You can develop applications in any .NET compatible language, including Visual Basic .NET and C#.

ASP.NET simplifies installation of your application. With ASP.NET, you can deploy an entire application as easily as an HTML page: just copy it to the server. There is no need to register any components, and configuration settings are stored in an XML file within the application.

ASP.NET also lets you update compiled components without restarting the web server. With ASP.NET, you simply copy the component over the existing DLL -- ASP.NET will automatically detect the change and start using the new code.

Finally, you do not have to migrate your existing applications to start using ASP.NET. ASP.NET runs on IIS side-by-side with classic ASP. Your existing ASP applications continue to be processed by ASP.DLL, while new ASP.NET pages are processed by the new ASP.NET engine. You can migrate application by application, or single pages.

We do not just make claims about our ability to host ASP.NET, we use ASP.NET throughout our entire hosting infrastructure. We built our own hosting automation system and ControlPanel using ASP.NET technology. WebHostforASP.NET is ASP.NET Hosting by ASP.NET experts.

Yes. XML Web services are supported and allow applications to communicate and share data over the Internet, regardless of operating system or programming language. ASP.NET makes exposing and calling XML Web Services simple. Any class can be converted into an XML Web Service with a few lines of code, and can be called by any SOAP client. Likewise, ASP.NET makes it easy to call XML Web Services from your application.

ASP.NET automatically detects and recovers from errors like deadlocks and memory leaks to ensure that your application is always available to your users.

Compiled Execution:: ASP.NET is MUCH MUCH faster than classic ASP. However, no explicit compile step is required. ASP.NET will automatically detect any changes, dynamically compile the files if needed, and store the compiled results to reuse for subsequent requests. Dynamic compilation ensures that your application is always up to date, and compiled execution makes it fast.

• Robust Output Caching: ASP.NET output caching can dramatically improve the performance and scalability of your web application. When output caching is enabled on a page, ASP.NET executes the page just once, and saves the result in memory in addition to sending it to the user. When another user requests the same page, ASP.NET serves the cached result from memory without re-executing the page. Output caching is configurable, and can be used to cache individual regions or an entire page. Output caching can dramatically improve the performance of data-driven pages by, for example, eliminating the need to query the database on every request.

• Easier Programming Model: ASP.NET makes developing web applications much easier. ASP.NET server controls enable an HTML-like style of declarative programming that lets you build dynamic web pages with much less code than with classic ASP. Displaying data, validating user input, and uploading files are all easier. In additiona, ASP.NET pages work in all browsers.

• Programming Language Options: ASP.NET allows you to leverage your current programming language skills. Unlike classic ASP, which supports only interpreted VBScript and JScript, ASP.NET supports more than 25 .NET languages (including VB.NET and C#), giving you flexibility in your choice of language.

• Authoring Tools: You can develop ASP.NET applications in Notepad, but Visual Studio .NET (VS.NET) adds the productivity of Visual Basic-style development to web applications. You can visually design ASP.NET Web Forms using familiar drag-drop-doubleclick techniques, and enjoy full-fledged code support including statement completion and color-coding. VS.NET also provides integrated support for debugging and deploying ASP.NET Web applications.

• Rich Class Framework: Application features that used to be difficult to implement, or required third-party components, can be added in a few lines of code using the .NET Framework. The .NET Framework offers over 4000 classes that provide rich functionality like XML, data access, file upload, regular expressions, logging and SMTP mail, and much more!
