ISP stopping support for Windows hosting - help!
Discussion
I run a site for a colleague of mine which i've built using asp and vbscript, with an SQL database, all fairly straightforward stuff really. The host that has looked after this for the last couple of years on an NT/2000 box will, with effect from Friday, be turning off any NT hosting and moving to Linux/MySQL only...
Can anyone give any guidance as to the best way forward for this - is it worth reworking the whole thing to work with the new system (bearing in mind I have 3 evenings to do this!), or look for a new host of an MS based system?
Currently paying £399pa for 1Gb server space with SQL hosting. Any reccomendations of where else to go at all, or anyone here do suitable easily set up hosting? I think i'd prefer this route to recoding it all....
Cheers folks,
Tony

Many many thanks to all for help, advice and emails - i'm in the process of getting some stats on the current usage from the hosts, and will be in touch again when I have them. As I just designed and maintain the system, it's not actually me that pays for it, but the owner of the site (you never know, he might pay me for sorting it out for him!) but we can cross that bridge when we come to it.
Cheers again,
Tony
