Further to that... If you end up going with PHP over ASP, you're two thirds of the way there. Leave IIS behind and try out Apache (www.apache.org/httpd). It's also free, fast, and reliable. From what I can tell, you're running the servers on a Win32 or NT box; I've run the Apache/PHP/MySQL combination on both platforms before, and just as stable as the IIS combo could be. I don't have a lot of experience with IIS, but what I do know is that getting MySQL up and running on a Windows box was the hardest part (of Apache, PHP, and MySQL). If you've already got that, Apache really shouldn't be too hard. The documentation for Apache is pretty good, too, even on Windows platforms.
