What you will need to consider more is
1. The effort required to migrate across to mysql. There are tools that can
assist but I don't know the URLs. Maybe someone else on the list knows.
2. What will be faster for the majority of users and I'm talking about
overall performance. If having it locally in the Phillipines is faster than
by all means, transfer it across.

> We have rented a Win2000 web server in the US with a 50GB transfer/month
in

> holds the list of users of our asp pages and allowed email users. Our web
> application presents a login form which is checked against the list of
> users in the database. Everytime a member logs in or signup, the Access

> Over here in the Philippines, I have several servers each more powerful

> I plan to distribute the load of the US server by moving some of the

better

MySql
