Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP, Classic ASP, ASP 3.0) is an older Microsoft server-side scripting environment that is fully supported in DiscountASP.NET's web hosting platform. ASP can be used to create and run dynamic, interactive Web applications. With ASP, you can combine HTML pages and script commands to create interactive Web pages or powerful Web-based applications.

Microsoft Active Server Pages enables HTML pages to be dynamic and interactive by embedding scripts, i.e. either VBScript or JScript. ASP pages with the file extension .asp are processed on-the-fly by the webserver, and any browser can render ASP pages as the resulting output is standard HTML.

• ActiveX Server Components
  Active Server Pages allows organizations to extend the power of scripting on the server with ActiveX server components. These components can be created using Microsoft Visual Basic, Visual C++®, Java, and other languages.
  
  
• Scripting Language
  Active Server Pages provides native support for both Microsoft JScript and VBScript. ActiveX scripting plug-ins are available for REXX, PERL, and Python.
  
  
• Browser Compatibility
  Active Server Pages can work with any Web browser. The output of an ASP file is plain HTML, the content of which can be customized for the capabilities of the client.
  
  
• Session State
  Active Server Pages allows you to define application and session variables that can be carried across multiple pages in a Web site. This can be as simple as remembering a user's name, and it is necessary in applications such as online shopping to track product selections.
  
  
• Legacy Data
  Active Server Pages makes it easy to bring legacy database applications to the Web.

• Platform
  Active Server Pages will run on Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, Windows NT Workstation 4.0 with Peer Web Services, and Microsoft Windows® 95 with Personal Web Server. Windows NT 3.51 is NOT supported. Windows NT 4.0 on MIPS is also not supported by ASP.
  
  
• Security
  Active Server Pages is a component of Internet Information Server, and thus uses Windows NT Security. ASP files can be easily restricted to just certain users through secure Windows NT authentication, basic Web authentication, or client-side certificates. For additional security, all client-to-server communications can be secured with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
  
  
• Integrity
  An Active Server Pages application can integrate with any ODBC-compliant databases including Microsoft SQL Server™, Oracle, Sybase, Informix, and DB2 databases. Any OLE 2 application, such as Lotus Notes or Microsoft Excel, can also be scripted to access or process information. You can also write components to access online data feeds and legacy mainframes.
  
  
• ISAPI Application
  ISAPI applications require all of the programming and layout to be contained in a .dll file written in C++. ISAPI applications are thus more difficult to create and maintain. With ASP files, an HTML writer can script an external component and format the output. ASP separates the layout and design from the business logic.

• Existing Customers
  Running an ASP website on our server is always a piece of cake as you can set and edit all your IIS configuration and website settings through the control panel that we provides.
