ASP web hosting refers to web hosting companies who provide support for ASP (Active Server Page). If you want a dynamic data-driven web site you may wish to embed ASP code into your web site’s HTML Pages. When a user is viewing a web site that is developed using ASP, the pages can change depending on the actions of the user. ASP code allows you to link your web pages to a database, where users can interact with the web page by logging in and using their own personal settings or they can interactively place orders on your web site.

Active Server Pages (ASP) is a Microsoft technology that allows programmers to develop custom code that works with Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS). Programmers may use one of two scripting languages to create ASP pages: VBScript (based upon Microsoft's Visual Basic) or JScript (based upon Sun's Java). ASP allows you to create dynamic database driven pages, a user can access data in a database, and interact with page objects such as Active X or Java components.
