suggest web provider...

I am looking for web provider where I can put some sample web work I am developing in php, asp, and js with database options like either MySQL, Oracle, or SQL-Server.

Do you have any recommendations? Do I need to sign up with more than one provider?

Also:
q1: What languages Apache supports? php, phyton, js, whatelse?
q2: I have apache (wamp) already installed, what should I install for asp.

I will start my asp samples later.

Thank you.

I have two laptops.

One window 7 with wamp which I use to do php work on it.

The other windows 7 professional with sql-server. So, IIS must be there per your comment.

I also have godaddy, just domain registration for now. I need to ask for "Windows hosting" I suppose.

Thanks,

Mike

Yes, ask for "Windows hosting". They have a 'sale' on right now. http://www.godaddy.com/hosting/web-hosting-new7a.aspx?ci=78120 You can install IIS on Win 7 Pro in the Control Panel -> Programs. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725762.aspx You will be making extensive use of the IIS Admin panel because "in the name of security" many things are Not installed by default including Classic ASP. Also a SMTP server is an additional install.

One thing you should be aware of is that PHP on Windows/IIS has a few things that are different from PHP on Linux/Apache. Quite a few things are included by default in the Windows version that often must be added to the Linux version. And on web hosting, you normally can't add any features or extensions.
