ASP.NET Hosting Gotchas?

[David Krussow]

The other day in this group someone wrote that one of the ASP.NET hosting
providers is "...not an enterprise server, so for example you can't cache
web pages..."

I'm wondering what "not an enterprise server" means, and what the
ramifications are - other than an inability to cache web pages. More
importantly, I'm wondering what other limitations on ASP.NET are enforced by
the providers - and how I can discover what those limitations are. I'd like
to think that I just sign up and get access to all features of the entire
..NET Framework. I'd hate to develop production-ready applications, only to
have them choke because the hosting provider disallows caching or some other
basic feature.

I'd appreciate any guidance on avoiding ASP.NET hosting limitations - what
to look for, etc..

There are literally thousands of ASP.NET hosts out there and they
(unfortunately) don't all list their packages in a way that you can easily
compare with another host.

The best thing to do is to read the specs. on the service and email them
with questions (like this one) before you sign up.
