ASP hosting is something that is relatively new in the web hosting space. It is important to know what you want to do with your website before you decide on a hosting solution for your needs. First, let’s take a second to define what ASP is. ASP’s are an easy way to selling software and distributing it across the internet to your customers and clients.
What does ASP stand for? It stands for application service provider. To more fully understand what it is and what it does, lets take a second to highlight some of the ASP’s that are out there. Amazon.com, eBay.com, and Opinions.com are all ASP’s. These companies deliver software solutions and they perform many other tasks as well.
ASP’s have some common features. They will generally own and operate the software solution they provide. Because of this, user cost is relatively low. The servers that the software is run on are also owned and maintained by the service provider. These companies not only deliver the software solution to their customers, they provide all of the support and customer service.
Another, key factor for ASP hosting is that the company will charge the users, as per the usage for the application and they may set up a monthly or even annually payment. It is often, that they will not take charges to use the applications. In some cases, one has to pay the customer to use the application.
Among those offering ASP hosting include iPowerWeb, Hostgator, Lunarpages and HostExcellence. They vary though in their ASP hosting features. The ASP hosting providers HostExcellence, iPowerWeb and Lunarpages use Windows as their operating system. Hostgator offers ASP hosting without using the Windows operating system since it makes use of ChiliASP. Another technology, which runs ASP without Windows, is InstantASP. It can also be noted that no one among these ASP hosting providers offer hosting exclusively. The trend is ASP hosting is just one of the services of web host providers.
Any other web hosting provider who does not offer ASP hosting usually provides the open source PHP programming capabilities. In most cases ASP hosting is a better solution for companies since it is run on a proprietary operating system.
