They're the latest development in the web site hosting industry and are gaining popularity around the world, but what exactly are Application Service Providers, and what can they do for your business? Application Service Providers (ASPs) are the latest trend in web site hosting (see Intoduction to Web Site Hosting), giving businesses the choice of outsourcing their externally hosted back-end applications, which allows them to save a great deal in operating costs. With an ASP, companies are able to do away with costly IT Department expansions, which can include high salaries, and expensive equipment and application purchases. The ASP takes the responsibility for developing, building, and distributing custom applications and databases for client use, giving companies another option to choose from.
