What is ASP (aka Classic ASP)? |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
ASP (Active Server Pages), also known as Classic ASP, is the Microsoft equivalent to PHP, and comes packaged with most default IIS (Internet Information Services) web servers. Chances are if you have a Windows-based web server, you will have ASP available to you. It can also be available on some non-IIS servers, but they are less common. Note that ASP is not the same as ASP.NET (Microsoft’s new server-side platform), and they are not compatible. Check with your web host to find out if ASP is available on your hosting account. |
