Hi,
Let's pretend, for a moment, that I've made the latest killer app using the
..net framework. The executable is sitting comfortably up there in the ether
on a web server. Zillions of paying customers go to my web site and want to
throw money at me to run the programme, what do I need on the web server end
for it to run? Do I need some kind of "Microsoft .net Server" or something?
Do the companies that host a web site for you normally have .net (and Java)
stuff available?
Also, if I just wanted to run it from a local server so that everyone on the
LAN could run it do I need a ".net server" or a "Microsoft Small Business
Server thingy" or something running on my server? What if some clients are
on Macs?
Thanks,
Paul 2 961
I'll throw my hat in to answer..> Hi, Let's pretend, for a moment, that I've made the latest killer app using

Zillions eh? you invented a virtual sex device didn't you? =) Anyways,
what you need is Internet Information Server 5.0 or 6.0 (these are the two
that support the ASP.NET), 5.0 comes with Win2k, 6.0 with Win2003 Server
(formerly known as Windows .NET Server 2003).
Yes, there are many companies that provide .NET services out of the box.
The one I use (because its cheap and I get SQL Server access) is
HostDepartment.com. I pay less than 5 dollars a month for ASP.NET, 300 megs
of space,3 gigs of bandwidth, 2 MySQL Servers and so on. There is also
others like webhost4life.com, which is good as well. Check out www.asp.net
for more hosting solutions. but low cost, I would say host deparment, just
from experience.
Also, if I just wanted to run it from a local server so that everyone on
the LAN could run it do I need a ".net server" or a "Microsoft Small Business Server thingy" or something running on my server? What if some clients are on Macs?
Same situatoin as above, you need something to run IIS. The client doesn't
matter. Why? Because its Active SERVER Pages. The server does all the
processing and renders it to the browser in a common format (HTML), so Mac,
Linux, Unix, Windows, Lindows... whatever...
