Free ASP Hosting- Some people require ASP hosting so Best Free Web Hosting Sites has written this ASP hosting review to help you understand what is ASP hosting and how you can find free ASP hosting. There are plenty of free ASP hosting providers!

When searching for free ASP hosting, it’s important to know a bit about ASP and what ASP hosting is. ASP hosting is web hosting that uses one or another of the versions of the Microsoft Active Server Pages, for which the acronym is ASP. ASP scripting language has had three major releases in 1996, 1997, and 2000. ASP 3.0 is available on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Internet Information Server 6.0 (IIS 6.0) and Windows Server 2008 (IIS 7.0). ASP.NET is a distinct product, a compiled language that depends on the .NET Framework , first made available in .NET Framework version 1.0 in 2002. Version 2.0 followed in 2005, version 3.0 in 2006, Version 3.5 in 2007, Version 3.5 Service Pack 1 in 2008, and Version 4.0 was released in April 2010. ASP.NET was originally named ASP+, and it was intended to succeed ASP and provide a simple way for ASP developers to update their pages.

ASP web pages have HTML as well as programming code written in Jscript or VBScript that is embedded. ASP pages replace the need for CGI scripts and/or JSPs (JavaServer Pages) as an alternative means for web pages to communicate with databases, for example. And although ASP is so closely associated with Microsoft and Windows Servers, there are third-party products that can make other web server ASP-capable. Because ASP.NET is distinct from ASP and because both are available in several versions, it is important to know exactly what is being offered when free ASP hosting is advertised, both in terms of ASP and in terms of the server used, as well as the other, usual features one looks for in free web hosting, like server space, bandwidth, URL requirements, upload capability, advertising, etc.

When using free web hosting of any kind, including free ASP hosting, is it important to read the terms of service carefully. If the website is for a commercial venture, free web hosting that won’t allow you to use a registered domain name, that has forced banner ads, that won’t allow you to post ads, such as Google AdSense, or that has such a low bandwidth allowance that you may run over may be an issue, so look out for these things.

In order to help with considering free ASP web hosting, here is a chart to give you an idea of the range of free ASP hosting available and the features and limitations. The fact that so many sites will not provide the ASP and ASP.NET version prior to sign-up suggests (indicated by ? in the chart), suggests that only outdated versions are available to non-paying customers.
