Active Server Pages web hosting refers to cheap free web hosting
companies that offer ASP support for websites. Active Server Pages are HTML pages with embedded ASP scripts that are processed on the server before the page is sent to the user. ASP allows the user to create dynamic database driven pages. The user can access data in a database, and interact with page objects such as Active X or Java components.
ASP support is ideal for websites that require a dynamic, data-driven website. In such cases, ASP code is required to be embedded into the website’s HTML pages. ASP code allows the users to link their web pages to a database, wherein users can then interact with the web pages and by using their personal settings, they can log in and place orders on the website.
How does ASP (Active Server Pages) Work?
When users types the URL in the address box or clicks on a specific web page, a request is sent to the web server to send the file to their computer. In case of a standard HTML file, your web browser will receive the file and it will appear exactly as it did on the web server. However if an ASP file is sent to your computer from the web server, then the server will run the HTML code; and run the ASP code (the ASP code could be the current date, or time; and other such information).
