If a web host does ASP.Net, I don't consider them good.

Try PHP, Perl or Python for language and MySQL or PostgreSQL for database. (I recommend Python \w PostgreSQL using the PsycopPG db interface lib. and a template framework that uses the TAL/METAL standard for web interface, I have my own custom version based on SimpleTAL with a few fixes that I can send you.)

I'm sorry, you must of misheard me, I didn't say "Please attack ASP.Net and spout off about how open source technologies are great." Jeesh...can't even answer a simple tech question anymore...

Because by definition ASP.NET has to be run on a windows platform. And windows servers suck. So even if ASP.Net is really great it's very limited on what it can run on.

Well, you would have otherwise gotten no answer at all.

No it doesn't. There are modules for Apache that more or less convert asp to perl or PHP, afaik. Never used it, just saw it in Linux Magazine a year or two ago.

Alternatively, there are some perl scripts out there that will convert all your source code from ASP to PHP  pretty well. Expect some fubars, especially if your code is really complex, but 90% of the work would be taken out from the beginning at least.
