Please humour me, as I never dabbled in the "make your own" website side of the net which was so popular all those years ago and I've got a few questions.
I've just bought a domain name for the purpose of learning ASP.net, what type of hosting package will I require to be able to practice this? I have been looking here http://www.hostinguk.net/webhosting.asp
Once you have a hosting package is it simple to link the host to the domain?

Visual Studio comes with a local webhost for testing.
In fact it's easier to learn with the local host since ASP.NET is subject to a huge swath of arcane and unholy configuration settings that can be declared at the machine and app pool level and can vary by host.
It won't really matter for the ultra basics but I've had many a duel with .NET hosts over shoddy configurations on their part.
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
However, it's always great to share what you're doing and have other people try it out too to see what they think.
