If you use Windows technology, ASP hosting is the easting type of hosting available. You will find it easier to create and deploy your applications in ASP hosting, and youll can find many ASP hosting providers. Before you decide on a particular vendor, it is better to know the features that come with Asp hosting.

When you are looking for web hosting, the feature that you have to look for first is the amount of MB space that comes with the package. Make sure that you get the maximum for the amount you plan to spend. The number of email ids (POP3 accounts) that you get with your plan is also important. Without that, you cannot use numerous email ids. If you do not have a domain name, youll have to book one with an ASP hosting provider. Some providers give you a domain name for free. If you already have one, see whether it can be transferred for free. Read the reviews from other customers that are using hosting services from the provider you are interested in, and check out the forums to get feedback on the service.

Make sure that you review the technological features that come with your ASP hosting plan. Find out what Windows server is used by the service provider. If you plan to use your web application in the latest .Net Framework, you have to see whether the server supports that framework. See whether it provides you with customized global.asa or a global.asax file. Support for Visual Studio.Net is essential, if you need to develop your .Net web applications in Visual Studio.Net. For other ASP applications, you can look for support from Microsoft FrontPage or Macromedia DreamWeaver.
