                Bob,<br>
                <br>
                A couple of quick questions:<br>
                <br>
                What type of site is it (e-commerce, informational,
                etc.)?<br>
                I am concerned about what security, data encryption,
                etc. that are required.<br>
                <br>
                Does it use a database (MS SQL Server most likely if it
                is MS based)?<br>
                In principle migrating from one relational database to
                another is more a pain than especially difficult.
                Details such as indexing, views, etc may be troublesome
                in the conversion and there some differences in the SQL
                dialects.<br>
                <br>
                Is there any server side scripting and if so what
                language?<br>
                My guess for an MS site is asp.<br>
                <br>
                There are several cheap, good hosting companies
                available and from what know transferring to another
                host is not terribly difficult. I think transferring is
                mostly about paying a fee and wait a few minutes and you
                are done.<br>
                <br>
                I have recently started working with Fat Cows (<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.fatcows.com">www.fatcows.com</a>) for
                a couple of informational websites. So far they seem
                very good.<br>
