What is Linux?

Linux is a UNIX-like operating system that was designed to provide personal computer users a free or very low-cost operating system comparable to traditional and usually more expensive UNIX systems. Linux has a reputation as a very efficient and fast-performing system.

Linux's kernel (the central part of the operating system) was developed by Linus Torvalds at the University of Helsinki in Finland. To complete the operating system, Torvalds and other team members made use of system components developed by members of the Free Software Foundation for the GNU Project.

Do you support ASP.NET?

All our servers are Linux based, and unfortunately ASP.NET (and .NET2) requires a Windows hosting environment - as such this is not available on any of our accounts. Do note that ASP.NET is not the next generation of ASP and that it is an entirely new and Windows server environment only development package.

What is ASP?

Active Server Pages. (This might be a little confusing because ASP also stands for "Application Service Provider"). ASP is a Microsoft technology that runs inside Windows 2000 or Windows XP. To run on Linux, AWebOnline.com have deployed Java System Active Server Pages.
