Re: Sorry for the downtime
Seconded for Monaghan - he's the only guy I know around here who does Windows hosting in the UK. And seems to know what he's talking about.

Re: Sorry for the downtime
Thanks,
I'm seriously going to have consider my options soon. I know I should have switched from Access a long time ago, but are just weary of anything going wrong. Can you give me an approx cost for switching everything (including hosting)? Also if I did switch, what would your support be like, what happens if your away or not available, have you got staff that provide 24/7 support? Uptime, reliability, speed and support is my priority. I don't need any fancy extras or control panels, just the ability to FTP and security Feel free to PM me with answers.

Re: Sorry for the downtime
There are a few SQL differences between Access and MySQL but generally the transition is painless.
I've moved quite a few sites over to MySQL with great results. Monaghan - my sites are all in Classic ASP at present so may be interested in talking with you about migrating to ASP.NET at some point |

Re: Sorry for the downtime
The differences between Access & other database systems depends entirely on how the original code is put together, the migration could be very quick, or could take hours of walking code finding Access specific issues
