A postback is the term to refer to data that has been POSted back by the client to the server. For example when you submit data on an HTML form via your web browser (which is the client here), when you submit that form, a postback to the server occurs. Effectively, the web browser, with its HTTP request for the specified file, will also have the postback data. If you have a PHP application, by using the $_POST and $_GET superglobal variables (or $_REQUEST to refer to $_POST, $_GET and $_COOKIE in one), you can retrieve the postback data within your PHP applications.

A primary example of a postback is a login or registration form – the postback data will consist of the username and password, and any other information fields you require on either forms.

Does this affect my ASP.NET 2.0 or 1.1 site?

* No, the ASP.NET 3.5 framework builds on the 2.0 library by adding additional functionality, there are no breaking changes and it should not effect your 2.0 code at all. There is no affect on ASP.NET 1.1 either.

How do I switch my site to using the 3.5 Framework?

* The ASP.NET 3.5 framework builds on or adds to the functionality of ASP.NET 2.0. If you site is set to use ASP.NET 2.0 and the 3.5 framework is installed, you should have access to the features within ASP.NET 3.5.

If you would want our admins to install it for you, we would be happy to do so, all you need to do is raise a ticket via our helpdesk and we will get ASP.NET 3.5 installed for you.

Q. Linux Semi-Dedicated hosting or Windows Semi-Dedicated Hosting? I have no idea can anybody help or explain in simple terms, what the advantages and disadvantages of each are?

Ans. If you don’t know which platform you need, then most likely you do not require Windows hosting and you should select one of our Linux web hosting plans. Your choice of web server platforms should be influenced by the use to which you intend to put it. The majority of web features including PHP, MySQL, POP3 etc run fine on both Windows server as well as Linux server platforms.

If you intend to develop your site using ASP, FrontPage, ASP.NET environment, Windows Streaming Media, Access, MS SQL Server, or any of the other Microsoft’s owned technologies then you should opt for Windows Semi-Dedicated hosting.

You would need to use Windows hosting is when you are using the specific NT applications. Microsoft FrontPage may be used on both the Linux and Windows platforms as since most hosting companies support the Microsoft FrontPage server extensions on both.

If you don’t need ASP.NET and MS SQL Server database support then Linux Semi-Dedicated Hosting would be perfect for you as it comes with the cPanel control panel which is the best control panel in web hosting industry.

Q. Do your Windows Web Hosting plans support ASP and ASP.NET?
