Confused about hosting and Atlas

I'm ready to start working with ASP.NET 2.0 and I'm looking for hosting plans for my website. However, I'm confused about Atlas. Can I use Atlas and all the AJAX extensions on any hosting provider that gives me ASP.NET? I was looking to use aplus.net for my hosting. Does anyone know if I can use aplus.net for this? If not, can someone give me a good hosting site?

Thanks!

The hosting site has to install it seperately. It does not come automagically with all asp.net hosting companies (although over time it probably will). There are a number of hosting companies that do offer it,...ultimahost.com being one I can think of off the top of my head.
Just copy the required Microsoft AJAX dll's to the \bin\ directory. I can't see how that should be a problem anywhere, or why you would need to install it (I've have done this on my own site).
That will only work if you can set your web site to run in full trust mode, most hosting providers don't allow this. There are several threads on the forum about this already with some explanations.
