Am I planning to replace it with something else? Absolutely.
I assume just ASP.NET?

Yep. And C#

Excellent choices. That is exactly what we did. VBScript on ASP on NT 4 to ASP.NET and C# on Windows 2003. The latter is still in production.

@scottalanmiller Thanks for completely derailing the thread in your rant about ASP.
That was not f*** [moderated] helpful.
If you read my OP, I specifically stated I was going to recommend a solution to migrate forward after I have everything back up and running as it was prior to being hosed up.
As far as I could tell most of those providers offer windows hosting with IIS. I was wanting recommendations for providers not a entitled rant about ASP.

So why not try this on Azure.. you should be able to get a trial for 30 days to get the solution proven out.
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/free-trial/?WT.mc_id=azurebg_us_sem_google_br_solutions_nontest_infrastructure_sitelink&WT.srch=1I just logged in and you can still spin up a 2008 R2 SP1 image which is what I would recommend you try for this.
Report back if you need more.

I thought about Azure, but did not want to deal with spinning up a full server for a temp solution.
It would certainly work though. I am meeting the prospective client in an hour and I will have more information after that to make decisions on how to migrate them forward.
I was looking at shared hosting providers for the zero config and lost cost. Just take their backups and ftp them up, fix the DNS and be done.
-
in what form are the backups in?
-
Azure has shared hosting for websites as well....
-
I'll know that in an hour. Was just told they have them.
I'm pretty much expecting a zip.
-
-
Report back when you find out and we will hash this out together

Does their web hosting require spinning up VMs? I thought that it didn't.
-
they have a website section that is cheaper than a full server...

I have another client on an azure website. I did not think it support classic asp. I will check into that closer.

No, it does not, but i was replying to the recommendation as an option.

I see, sorry.

.NET 1.0 it looks like so all the way back

@GregoryHall ASP.NET is not ASP in any way. That's a completely separate technology that replaced ASP (see the rant Jared complained about in this thread - one of the risks of ASP is that many people use it as incorrect slang for ASP.NET.)

I'd recommend going with Host gator for Classic ASP. You can use either MySQL or MSSQL db's as well. http://www.hostgator.com/windows-hosting
