Does using ASP mean I have to ask my server a permission for everything?

My website is hosted by Yahoo!...right now,I'm using only HTML,


if I start using ASP,will I have to ask my server permission to let me execute scripts on the server before I publish my pages?

ASP means Active Server Pages. These pages have special control that run at server( that menas that they do not require to download on your computer to run on it). It does not means that You have to ask your server for every thing. Once you give the permission or intall ASP support nothing will required in future
Reply:Not exactly, but depending on how its setup you may or not be able to do certain things (for example, some hosts won't let you write to the hard drive, or they sandbox you with say 5 gigs of storage space).
Reply:ASP is dynamic. HTML is simply formatting of content. ASP streams HTML on output to the browser. You can do much much much more with ASP than with flat up HTML.With ASP you can validate a logging user with the data stored in the database and the input data.The word dynamic means, for each request from browser, it will be sent to the server , and the request is then processed at server and it returns the result to the browser.So for processing datas inside server, you need a web server there.So when you host your new asp pages , the hosting company where you want to put the pages should contain a webserver.I hope most of the hosting companies provides webserver to run ASP pages.Once there is webserver installed, then you dont need to think much about the thing..what you want to do is, just upload your pages to the root folder. Thats all...
