Windows Hosting Uptime
Windows Hosting Uptime is a measure of the time a Windows Hosting Server has been "up" and running. It came into use to describe the opposite of downtime, times when a Windows Server was not operational. The uptime and reliability of Windows Server and communications facilities is sometimes measured in nines. "Five nines" means 99.999% availability, which translates to a total downtime of approximately five minutes and fifteen seconds per year.

ASP.NET Hosting Glossary
Shared ASP.NET Hosting
Shared web hosting service is when one's Web site is placed on the same server as many other sites, ranging from a few to hundreds or thousands. Typically, all domains may share a common pool of server resources, such as RAM and the CPU. A shared website may be hosted with a reseller.
Virtual Private Server (VPS) ASP.NET Hosting
A Virtual Private Server (VPS , also referred to us as Virtual Dedicated Server) is a method of partitioning a physical server computer into multiple servers that each has the appearance and capabilities of running on its own dedicated machine. Each virtual server can run its own full-fledged operating system, and each server can be independently rebooted.
Dedicated ASP.NET Hosting
A dedicated hosting service, dedicated server, or managed hosting service is a type of Internet hosting where the client leases an entire server not shared with anyone. This is more flexible than shared hosting, as organizations have full control over the server(s), including choice of operating system, hardware, etc.
Reseller ASP.NET Hosting
Reseller web hosting allows clients to become web hosts themselves. Resellers could function, for individual domains, under any combination of these listed types of hosting, depending on who they are affiliated with as a provider. Resellers' accounts may vary tremendously in size: they may have their own virtual dedicated server to a colocated server.
Colocation ASP.NET Hosting
A Colocation web hosting service is similar to the dedicated web hosting service, but the user owns the colo server; the hosting company provides physical space that the server takes up and takes care of the server. This is the most powerful and expensive type of the web hosting service.
Cloud ASP.NET Hosting
Windows Cloud Hosting is a new type of Windows hosting platform that allows customers powerful, scalable and reliable Windows hosting based on clustered load-balanced servers and utility billing. Removing single-point of failures and allowing customers to pay for only what they use versus what they could use.

Why ASP.NET Hosting?
ASP.NET Hosting is the new way of managing your computing needs. It is the alternative to host it yourself or outsourcing, both of which can be expensive and risky options for a company. Windows Hosting is a good alternative because it has lower costs and does not involve a high capital investment incurred by doing it yourself, while also giving greater control and flexibility than completely outsourcing operations.
ASP.NET Hosting Alternatives
Host it Yourself
Home Windows server is usually a single Windows machine placed in a private residence can be used to host one or more ASP.NET web sites from a usually consumer-grade broadband connection. Some ISPs actively attempt to block home servers by disallowing incoming requests to TCP port 80 of the user's connection and by refusing to provide static IP addresses. A common way to attain a reliable DNS hostname is by creating an account with a dynamic DNS service. A dynamic DNS service will automatically change the IP address that a URL points to when the IP address changes.
Outsourcing
ASP.NET Hosting outsourcing involves the transfer of the management and/or day-to-day execution of an IT systems and computing operations to an external service provider. The client organization and the supplier enter into a contractual agreement that defines the transferred services. Under the agreement the supplier acquires the means of production in the form of a transfer of people, assets and other resources from the client.
Windows ASP.NET Hosting
An ASP.NET hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own ASP.NET website accessible via the World Wide Web. Windows web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. ASP.NET web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation.
The scope of ASP.NET hosting services varies widely. The most basic is web page and small-scale file hosting, where files can be uploaded via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or a Web interface. The files are usually delivered to the Web "as is" or with little processing. Many Internet service providers (ISPs) offer this service free to their subscribers. People can also obtain ASP.NET hosting from other, alternative service providers. Personal Windows hosting is typically free, advertisement-sponsored, or cheap. Business ASP.NET web site hosting often has a higher expense.
Single ASP.NET page hosting is generally sufficient only for personal web pages. A complex site calls for a more comprehensive package that provides database support (MS SQL) and application development platforms (ASP.NET). These facilities allow the customers to write or install scripts for applications like forums and content management. For e-commerce, SSL is also highly recommended.
The ASP.NET host may also provide an interface or control panel for managing the Windows Web server and installing scripts as well as other services like e-mail (MS Exchange). Some Windows hosting companies specialize in certain software or services (e.g. e-commerce). They are commonly used by larger companies to outsource network infrastructure to a hosting company.

All you need to get started with ASP.NET is the free .NET Framework, the free Visual Web Developer and affordable ASP.NET Hosting Provider.
