I have a website that I would like to include an online
ordering system based on ASP and a backend database / administraiton setup.

So, Can I host the basic site (HTML pages) and then have the online ordering system hosted with another company? (since ASP is not supported on a linux servers).

Any help will be appreciated !!!

Thanks

The how depends on what you want. You can just handoff between servers via hyperlinks. For example, that would put a hyperlink on your home page that leads to the other server for entering the online catalog. This is easiest, but you have to be careful about maintaining some continuity of your site design across the servers so your users don't feel they are going to another web site entirely.

Another option would be to incorporate frames. I've done this for a real estate customer. Setup your main site, but have the content from the other server load within a frame on your page. Again, you have to be careful from an aesthetic perspective, but it will do the trick.
