Q: Why is my ASP Global.asa not working?
A: You must use your own domain name (http://www.yourdomain.com) to browse in order for your global.asa to execute. Using our Shared URL (http://site101.ehostingbiz.com/yourID) will not execute your global.asa. To enable the script place your global.asa into your root directory.
