About Active Server Pages and ASP Web Hosting

Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP) is an older technology developed by Microsoft but fully supported in our hosting environment. (Re-invent supports ASP Hosting, Classic ASP, ASP 3.0, ASP 2.0)

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 web server, and any browser can render ASP pages as the resulting output is standard HTML.

By using ASP, Web pages can be dynamic, full of ever-changing content, and browser independent.

Organizations can use Active Server Pages to put a Web front end on existing business solutions, or to create entirely new Web-based applications.

Since ASP provides a very open development environment, with support for both Microsoft Visual Basic®, Scripting Edition (VBScript) and JScript™, organizations can leverage the investments they already have in these scripting languages.

With ASP, you can combine HTML pages, script commands, and COM components to create interactive Web pages or powerful Web-based applications, which are easy to develop and modify.
