[Classic] ASP.NET – MyHosting Help Center

What is ASP.NET?

ASP.NET is a coding language which lets you create dynamic web pages. Such uses could be a search page, a discussion forum, or an e-commerce shopping cart. ASP.NET server controls have been designed to allow you to build great pages with far less code than with classic ASP. ASP.NET is also much faster, more scalable and reliable than classic ASP resulting in increased productivity.

Do I have to use ASP.NET?

No. You have the choice of using either ASP or ASP.NET for your web site. Using ASP.NET will provide you significant advantages over classic ASP.
