When I have a link to a .asp page, it gets downloaded rather than displayed. How can I change this.

Neither ASP nor ASP.NET (*.aspx) are supported on Free Hosting. ASP.NET is supported to a limited degree via the Mono runtime on x10Premium, but you need to find a compatible Windows hosting solution to run classic ASP -- most low-priced web hosts use one or another flavour of Unix/Linux.
If you want dynamic pages here, they have to be PHP. (Mono is not installed; and Perl, Python and other CGI environments are disabled for security reasons.)

Our Illuminated and Premium services offer ASP.NET at a cheap price:

That's not the same thing as ASP -- they are two totally different technologies, with only Microsoft in common. And Mono (the system used to run ASP.NET on Linux/CentOS) does not completely support ASP.NET either, so the code needs to target only those parts of ASP.NET that Mono supports (essentially, Framework 2 minus the Windows system calls, along with parts of MVC and AJAX, with major inconsistencies).
