Some ASP hosting companies allow users to upload any ASP programs that they
want. But, as you know, ASP programs can do virtually everything, including
running components, doing disk operations, even reformatting a hard-disk!

How do ASP hosting companies prevent users from doing harmful operations
like that?

Can you elaborate on this a bit more? Is this done via IIS? Can you give
me some examples?

Thanks!
