What is .NET?

Microsoft®.NET is a set of software technologies for connecting information, people, systems, and devices. This new generation of technology is based on Web services - small building-block applications that can connect to each other as well as to other, larger applications over the Internet.

Redstation's Entry Level, Business Hosting, Corporate Hosting and Secure Hosting accounts support the .NET Framework version 1 and 1.1. Dedicated Servers also fully support .NET.

.NET is both a business strategy from Microsoft and its collection of programming support for what are known as Web services, the ability to use the Web rather than your own computer for various services. Microsoft's goal is to provide individual and business users with a seamlessly interoperable and Web-enabled interface for applications and computing devices and to make computing activities increasingly Web browser-oriented. The .NET platform includes servers; building-block services, such as Web-based data storage; and device software. It also includes Passport, Microsoft's fill-in-the-form-only-once identity verification service.

well .NET is an microsoft product . It was developed on windows platform in competition to the java technology. This .Net includes different languges

,NET package

ASP.net
c#
VB.net

All this put ot gether called as .net.

well i will say that .NET is a technology introduced by Microsoft to tacle the market of java. MS just want to get the market which solely belonged to java.
Other specification for .NET you will get in above posts.

its a advance computer language.and .NET will have as significant an effect on the computing world as the introduction of Windows. One concern being voiced is that although .NET's services will be accessible through any browser, they are likely to function more fully on products designed to work with .NET code.

Those windows servers with .net installed usually expensive than Linux web servers. So I prefer use PHP for my development work. Its free and you can find lot of free resources and also php hosting is cheap.
