ASP & Futurequest

[Bomby]

Futurequest is capable or incapable of servicing ASP pages?

I've been asked to host a site that is done in asp and plan to do a crash course in asp to bring myself up to speed, but I did first want to see if FQ was a viable hosting option for the site. For a server to be capable of servicing asp, it's kinda like php, right? The php daemon, or in this case asp daemon has to be running on the server in question to parse and respond to asp directives contained in a normal html document, and the webserver has to be aware of the file's .asp extension and feed the document through the asp daemon before servicing the page in response to the http request, yes? Or am I way off in my assumptions of what asp is and does?

you will need to find a NT host to run asp pages, and Futurequest doesn't offer that. If you are looking for a good one, check http://2coolweb.com/ Martin runs that place and is a great guy. I was with them for a couple of years before making the jump to Unix hosting.

The php daemon,
There isn't a PHP daemon, really: php is normally run as a module, or library, so it's part of the apache web server daemon.

ASP is, I believe, similar, in that it runs as part of IIS. But I'm not as familiar with the particulars of IIS, so don't quote me. :)
