If you really want to learn about web hosting and related services offered by hosting companies, you really have to dive right in. The knowledge and understanding that you will gain can and will save you money in so many different ways. It is truly amazing!

One phrase that many people are probably not familiar with is ASP hosting. To start off, lets take a moment to define what ASP hosing is. ASP's are a way of selling software and distributing that software across the internet.

ASP stands for application service provider. To really understand what it is and what it does lets look at some classic examples of different companies who use ASPs. Amazon, eBay, and Opinions all use ASPs and are a great example of ASP service providers. They not only deliver software solutions, but their ASPs perform other tasks too!

ASP's own and operate the software solution they are providing. Because of this, prices to the user are pretty affordable. The software application is hosted on a server owned by the software company, they provide support and maintain it as well. The software should be available to use anywhere there is an internet connection.

One feature of ASP hosting that other types of hosting is not known for is the fact that the users are charged on their usage of the service. The customer is billed on a monthly or yearly basis.

There are many web hosting companies who offer ASP hosting, a few of them include myhosting, hostexcellence, and ipowerweb. They each offer this unique hosting service, but their features vary a little bit. Myhosting.com offers ASP hosting and uses Windows as their operating system. The trend among most hosting providers is that ASP is becoming more of a standard across the board.

For those hosting providers that don't offer ASP hosting, they will offer some sort of PHP interface.
