hosting asp files on Apache?

[ROOFIS]

hi there I've come into possession of an asp scripted site and wondering what the general consensus is regarding the hosting of these files on Apache? I haven't had much experience with this file format as it's in the windows hosting genre, I've looked at the mono, xsp from mono-project.com/Mod_mono as a possible solution to this though any advice or wisdom regarding the config would be most grateful, thanks

Hello ROOFIS,

As for your question, it's possible to embody this, but you should take into account that you will need to order VPS (minimum Gold) or dedicated server. As for the details, please submit a ticket to our technical dept at helpdesk (www.whbsupport.com) and discuss all the nuances with our technicians.

Yep, you need a VPS or Dedicated (preferred) to host ASP files. When Windows hosting launches, this will change.

Depending on your site, you should seriously consider a migration to a more supported language. ASP (Not ASP.NET) is a depreciated language that should be updated. I would recommend that you first get a Windows host that also supports PHP. Migrate your database to MySQL, and begin creating and maintaining new pages in PHP. Over time, you should be able to port most of the functionality in the site, and then move to cheaper and more reliable Linux/Unix hosting.

I looked into this a couple of years ago, as one of my clients is a heavy user of ASP and I was required to develop a new site and application for them.

It is possible to run ASP on Apache, but y understanding is that it is not recommended. There are many caveats, and you may be frustrated by the differences between ASP on a Windows server versus ASP on a Unix server.

If you're not too far into development, you might consider using a more portable platform such as PHP rather than ASP, as PHP sites can run on either Unix servers or Windows servers.

If you already have a lot of work invested in ASP, then you may prefer to remain with APS. In that case, check with Matt about when WHB will launch its Windows hosting plans.

We are still offering (free) beta Windows hosting plans.
