    Hi,

    My hosting company is upgrading there servers. With these new servers people won’t have to decide if they want asp or php based hosting. Does anyone know if this will affect my wordpress software? Also, will I be able to write php and asp code on the same site and have it actually work?

    As long as php is still available and running on the server then the change over should not affect your blog.

    Your second question is more for your service provider – can you run linux and windows at the same time? I dont think so.

    Are you allowed multiple OS setup in the same hosting account? Only your service provider can answer that.

    Hi ZGani,

    Thanks for the reply. My HP said I can run both php and asp code on my site when my site gets upgraded to the new servers …. Do you know how I would connect a access database to a WP site?

    No problem.

    WP requires MySql as the database backbone and the connection still remains the same as per norm, via wp-config.php in the core install files.

    I take it you already have a wordpress running at the moment and the upgrade will still retain both PHP as wells a MySQL database. Is your service provider telling you that they are changing to MS SQL?

    If MySql is being retained then you dont have to do anything, the WP blog should continue functioning as it should.
