I'm looking for advice on a new ASP application in Visual Studio 2010. I have done some ASP and PHP programming in the past, but it has been a while. The PHP programming has always been maintaining and modifying existing sites and never anything from scratch. The last ASP application I wrote was about 6 years ago in Visual Studio 6/ Visual Interdev. This will be my first ASP application with .Net.
My company's web site is all PHP/MySQL Server, but we also have an IIS intranet. This new project will be on a new domain we are setting up and will be for the outside world, not so much for our employees. It won't be a public site, though, as we will restrict access through username and passwords we issue to known entities. I'm hoping I will be able to program to an instance of SQL Server on the new domain, but MySQL Server would be fine.
First, choosing someone to host the domain. I know there are a lot of sites out there that can host our domain, but is there anything I should look for or ask about, given the description of the project above. The information on the site will be sensitive, so security is a high priority. Can anyone recommend someone to host the site?
Second, in VS 2010 I have the selections below when starting a new ASP application. The last option seems like it is the way to go, but I'm not really sure. Any advice on this?
ASP.NET Web Application
ASP.NET MVC 2 Web Application
ASP.NET Dynamic Data Entities Web Application
Thank you,
Greg
