ASP.NET Framework and Internet Service Providers

[Michael]

Hi there,

I've just started developing web sites using Visual Web Developer / ASP.Net
Framework 3.5 and AJAX Toolkit objects.

Nothing worked when I uploaded the site to my web hosting provider.
After some research it emerged that all ISPs in Australia only support .Net
Framework 1.1 or 2.0.

My questions are now, is that the same in the US?
Why aren't Australian ISPs upgrading to 3.5?
What can I do?
Can I use AJAX objects such as the Accordion and target the .Net Framework
2.0?
One of the errors concerns the ScriptManager, can I use AJAX objects and use
something else rather then ScriptManager?

Any comments or pointers is very much appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance and have a nice day...

Michael

Hi,

Not sure if you're still listening.

I'm using a Kiwi ISP for hosting ASP.NET 3.5 sites. The ISP is 2day.com.

To creater the site I set it up from their online provisioning system then
request it be converted to .NET 3.5 (via the helpdesk).

(I'd be surprised if there aren't Aussie ISP's doing the same but I haven't
researched.)

Hope that helps.

Thank you Mike, that's a great idea...
I'll also check out the 2day.com...

Cheers
