Locally on my computer I have made use of ASP using mySQL. I cannot find any hosting company that offers the use of ASP and mySQL. It seems only PHP and mySQL are used together. I've used MS Access some, but I keep reading how it is very limiting as a database program.
The site I'm working on will have a samll shopping cart, about 10 items. I know I need to use a secure server for that portion. Should I consider learning SQL Server 2000? Many use it. Is the software expensive and is it expensive to have it hosted? I have Visual Basic 6, but haven't ventured into it not knowing much about that program. (Not to mention the site will be in english and japanese, but I figured out how to make that function properly through the database).
Any sugestions?
