ASP.NET features over Classic ASP
Still using ASP for your web page? Below are some useful points on why you should use ASP.NET scripts for creating your web application.
1 – Scalability
Classic ASP – With Classic ASP applications, components used by pages are fairly difficult to update, maintain or replace. In general updating a component in a running application will require the shutting down of IIS, replacement of the component and finally a restart of IIS.
ASP.NET – ASP.NET was built to provide specific enhancements that allow scalable and efficient application updating. The ‘xcopy’ deployment model of .NET allows replacement of pages and components in real time and does not require a restart of the web server. If an update needs to be made to a current production application, developers can simply make the change and the infrastructure can account for that change the next time a request is made to the altered page or component. This means that content updates, fixes and enhancements to ASP.NET applications can be made in real time with little to no impact to the user base.
2 – Application Compilation Features
Classic ASP- ASP Classic is comprised of VBScript or Jscript interpreted at run-time which means each page has a specific performance hit due to line by line interpretation. The interpretation of the pages simply results in some inefficiency.
ASP.NET – ASP.NET however compiles the code the first time it is accessed. The compiled code results in .NET classes housed within assemblies and allow subsequent page requests to be serviced with previously compiled code.
3 – Programming Language Support
Classic ASP – Limited programming language supported.
ASP.NET – ASP.NET supports full server side programming languages and not just scripting languages. Only VBScript and Javascript are available for scripting in ASP Classic where as, in ASP.NET there are no such restrictions. With ASP.NET several programming languages like C# and VB.NET are available to program in accordance to the developers preference where both of them can even be used in the same application.
4 – Stability
Classic ASP – ASP is running under the inetinfo.exe (IIS) process space, making it susceptible to application crashes. This happens because the IIS needs to be stopped or restarted on a regular basis.
ASP.NET – The ASP.Net process is separate from inetinfo.exe, meaning that it is not susceptible to these types of application crashes. This means that the final product will be much more stable.
You could have web hosting that support both ASP hosting and ASP.NET hosting technology for supporting your current and future .NET web applications.

CMS Hosting – Do(s) and Don’t(s) When Choosing Correct CMS for You
Posted by: admin on: July 2, 2009
Tips on Choosing the CMS for You
The DO List:
1 – DO take your time and explore your requirements. There are TONS of resources out there that can help you in your search. Some examples are try to figure out what is the purpose of your CMS, online shopping cart, blog, photo galleries?
2 – DO try the software demo first. You can always try to download yourself from the CMS website and install on your hosting plan or directly test drive the CMS website live from the source website. If you get lost somewhere and need help.. hit the forums for the applicable package or seek help from your hosting company if you already have a hosting account.
3 – DO ask other webmasters of sites that you like. Some may or may not be willing to tell you what (if any) CMS they are using but it never hurts to ask. Read more user reviews to get more impression on the particular CMS.
4 – DO remember to fully research the product you are considering.. explore some themes, plugins and see how the community treats questions from new users. This will give you a good feel for the product. Browse other user website and to get more idea and understanding on how the CMS works.
5 – DO choose the correct type of CMS system which are compatible with your hosting plan. ASP.NET cms such as BlogEngine.NET and DotNetNuke will not work on Linux based hosting plan. Please consult your hosting provider regarding this matter.
The DON’T List:
1 – Do NOT pick your CMS just based on the overall design. Most of the CMS are integrated with themes which you can change and install within short period of times.
2 – Do NOT purchase the CMS software directly without fully understand the benefits of the CMS system can bring to you or your company. Some CMS system are high in cost, you surely do not expect to burn a big hole in your pocket.
3 – NOT throw tons of money at a developer or freelancer and have them make something custom just for you. It’s not worth the investment.. there are plenty of well supported systems out there and it’s much better to have others who know the product as support options rather than just one person. Some popular CMS such as DotNetNuke and Kentico have a large community of developers and users interacting together to improve the CMS from time to time.
4 – Do NOT assume that because the CMS costs money, it must be better than it’s Open Source alternatives. While this MAY be the case in SOME instances.. it is most certainly not always the case. There are a large number of Open Source CMS products on the market that are much better than some of the commercial offerings.. and vice versa. The bottom line is, choose the right one that suites your purpose and requirements.
5 – Do NOT go to the DotNetNuke forums and ask them if DotNetNuke or Kentico is the best.. you will get a biased answer. There are no “Best” CMS for everyone, only the best suite the user requirements will expect the CMS to work 100% perfectly for them or their organizations.
If you have more question about choosing the correct CMS for your personal use or for your company use, please consult SeekDotNet.com customer support specialist for the CMS and the suitable hosting plan.
