Running .asp(x) and .php on the same server?

AND housing two different database types as well.

I am afraid of what this answer may be, but I figure here it goes.

My apologies for being specific, but I will try and make this as general as possible.

I am about to purchase a dedicated server but had this question prior. I have a MLS (real estate search) solution that was built with php and mySQL. Works great.

I also have a condo reservation system that was built with asp using a MS SQL database.

Can I merge them into the same website? I am not talking about merging the databases or putting asp and php on the same PAGE. But lets say we have a directory /mls/ that uses the php and mysql and we have /reservations/ that uses asp and ms sql. Both of which are subdirectories within www.superdoopercoolserver.com. :)

Sorry for the long question, but had to make sure I covered it. haha.

I really appreciate any help anyone can give!

asp and php on the same server shouldn't be a huge issue but I think you would run into trouble with the 2 databases.

Thats what I was thinking. Yea my main concern was the two different database types. Any other suggestions out there?

Most Windows hosting providers run php on their servers then no problem on the php, asp & aspx. even on MYSQL & MSSQL on windows servers ...
Your problem will be solved by Windows servers then ;)

Should be no problem with the different application servers.

Should also be no problem with 2 DBs, although it may require a little bit of manual configuration. (We run MS SQL and also had MySQL on our development server for a while while doing some testing.) Since you configure your data sources to point to s specific DB, there should be no real issue. If both DBs grow very large, then you may have some memory issues. But memory is cheap. As are new servers (relatively). :)
