Re: Benifits of ASP CMS Hosted

Actually, some hosted WCM vendors *do* host your website,
though the trend is not to do so (e.g. Clickability now
offers a CMS service without hosting your content delivery
tier).  

Most customers seem to prefer it that way.  Consequently,
all the major ASP players have built out deployment
mechanisms for pushing content from their CMS back to your
web- or app-servers.  To answer your question, then, the
run-time datasource (either data or baked out HTML) doesn't
reside at the ASP vendor -- it resides with you.
