Hi, does anyone know if there is a free host that supports ASP.
I am looking for a server to test my ASP. I understand i can do this on my own computer. But i do not always work at home. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

How exactly do you test scripted pages like ASP or PHP on your home machine?

I don't know about PHP, but you can't test ASP on your home machine unless you are running a IIS server on it. Server side stuff like ASP, Coldfusion, and I suspect PHP have to be interpreted on the server side.

Actually RC, you can test all scripting languages on your home machine. To test ASP you need a program called PWS or Personal Web Server. I *think* you can get it at the Microsoft site (do a search of this forum as it has been discussed before).

As for PHP, you just have to have Apache and PHP installed on your computer. It is a fairly difficult, but if you are computer savvy, you should be able to figure it out.
