Looking for a Provider that Supports Asp.net Hosting?
Aspx web pages. The latest development in the web
application world. While it is relatively easy to use this new technology, when
it is time to upload your web application, web service, website or web page, you
might find yourself wishing for more. Not every hosting package supports
this type of object; this is simply because aspx pages are a Microsoft Windows
type of thing. In our article about
cheap web hosting you can find some of the differences between Linux and
Windows hosting. Nevertheless, even if your web hosting package offers
support for aspx pages, you need to verify carefully that the version you are
going to deploy is supported as well.

We love working with asp.net, aspx pages and
all those sorts of things. If after contracting a website hosting
package you cannot upload it
correctly or get those funny .net errors, just
drop us an email and we will help with the
web hosting setup and configuration for FREE!!!
Continuing with our discussions about aspx pages, lets help
you understand some of the basic concepts. Aspx pages are the resulting product
of the practical implementation of Asp.Net, which in time is part of the
.Net
Framework. In Microsoft's own words: "The .NET Framework is Microsoft's
managed code programming model for building applications that have visually
stunning user experiences, seamless and secure communication, and the ability to
model a range of business processes."
Well, in short, if you are able to get your hands on
Visual Web Developer
2008 Express Edition, you are well on your way to creating great looking
aspx pages. By the way, VWD 2008 is the tool we used to develop this website.
So, if you are reading this, it obviously works.
When you create a new Asp.Net web project, you have to select
which version of the .Net Framework you are going to use. The versions available
as of October 2008 are: Version 1.1, Version 2.0, Version 3.0 and Version 3.5.
If you are going to upload your pages to the Internet, you will need a web
hosting service that supports the version you used when creating your pages.
Usually, when a web hosting provider supports a version of
the .Net framework, it supports all the versions below that supported
one. For example, if you see that a hosting plan includes support for Version
3.0, it means that it also supports 2.0 and 1.1. All versions of the framework
are cumulative, which means that the new one includes all the previous ones.
As usual, when you are looking around in order to compare web
hosting packages that support asp.net, you cannot forget about verifying other
important quality indicators such as disk space, reliability, uptime, database
support, etc...
We have done our fair share of homework on this subject, and
we are very confident to recommend two companies for the job of hosting an
asp.net website or web application. The most reliable are Brinkster.com
and
IPOWER.com
Feel free to visit those websites to find out more about
their offerings and how they may fit your current needs.
