ASP Net Web Hosting

The next generation Web server from Microsoft is IIS 7.0, re-architected to provide greater flexibility and improved ease of use -- exactly what their customers have been asking for. IIS 7 also exhibits greater performance, reliability and security for users in shared server environment.

Microsoft IIS 7 key features include:

Hosting services are now capable of customizing the Web server features with more than 40 new modules that can be installed on the server independently. These modules provide new opportunities for customizing a Web server using a new set of APIs that can be used to extend, replace, and add functionality.
More robust administration capabilities of IIS 7.0 make deploying and managing Web applications in this environment straightforward and efficient with an organized configuration system that uses XML for storing all IIS and ASP.NET settings. This new configuration system supports distributed configuration files, which can be stored along with Web site or application content so that each Web site owner, even on a shared servers, can configure their Web site without affecting any other site on the server.
Improved and more broad set of administration features that simplify the day-to-day tasks of managing Web sites and applications. The software includes a new graphical user interface (GUI) administration tool, a new command-line utility, a new managed API, and a new Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) provider for automating administration tasks. All of these new administration features provide unified support for managing IIS and ASP.NET settings together.

If you are interested in ASP or .NET hosting, I would recommend the 1and1 MS Developer platform. 1and1 is a partner of the Microsoft Joint Deployment Program (JDP) and offers the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager for developers.
