I am very much a newbie to internet programming. I would appreciate any input on a few questions i have.
1) I am working on a website in visual interdev. I heard from someone that you should already have a web hosting service selected and use their server name as the SERVER when creating a new project. Is this true? it doesnt make sense that you would need to set up the final server information when creating a project.
2) I have been having problems getting a straight answer from any web hosting services as to whether or not they fully support interdev's features. Is it a safe bet that any web hosting service i choose (provided i choose a windows server) will allow me to create a website using databases and server side objects. I don't have a clear idea yet as to what classes i may be creating to run on the server. Is this likely to be an issue in the future?
