I'm new to website hosting so I have several questions.

Are the webpages that you upload via ftp easy to move/delete when you're updating pages?

I have only worked on an intranet site that is easily updated since I have access to the server from my local pc.

My intranet site is written in ASP and I use the server to test my pages before uploading them before others can use them.  Is that possible with the web server that we are assigned to or do we need to test this on our local computer with some type of software prior to loading the pages?  

If we do have to test it locally, are there any good freeware programs that I could use?

Does it take long to add ASP to your account and how do I go about doing this?

Have I exceeded my question limit yet?    

If you have Windows XP Pro or Windows 2000, it comes with Internet Information Services which has ASP functionality.  You could therefor test your ASP on your local computer.

Even if you run Windows 98, you can install ASP support with your web server.  Go to control panel, add/remove Windows components, and under the web server, click in Documentation, and under that in details, you'll see asp.  Check that in also.

As for FTP, I recommend CuteFTP or WS_FTP (though I prefer CuteFTP myself).

These are both straightforward FTP programs that have an easy-to-use interface.
