IIS website migration, without the emergency.

Often, yes. Many classic ASP websites can be rehosted to modern Windows cloud hosting, such as Azure App Service, with targeted fixes rather than a full rewrite — not every classic ASP migration to cloud hosting means starting over. When a rewrite genuinely is the better path, you get that recommendation up front — with a fixed quote for both options, not a surprise partway through.

Rehost when the application still does its job and the real problem is the server underneath it — moving the site as-is to modern cloud hosting is the faster, cheaper path. Rebuild when the code itself has become the problem: unmaintainable, undocumented, or blocking features the business needs.

The free consultation weighs both against your actual site. If it's a genuine toss-up, you see the trade-offs and a fixed quote for each before deciding.

Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 support ended in October 2023. Windows Server 2016 left mainstream support in 2022, with extended support ending January 2027. A site on these servers still works — but it no longer gets the protection a public-facing website needs indefinitely.

It's a plan-now situation, not a panic-now one. Planning while the old server still runs is exactly what makes a zero-downtime migration possible.

The database keeps running, but security patches stop — and compliance or cyber-insurance requirements often stop being met. SQL Server 2012 and 2014 are already past end of support.

The usual fix is migrating to a modern managed platform — Azure SQL Database, a current SQL Server version, or PostgreSQL if the application is being rebuilt on a different stack. Your schema and data move over, and the application is updated and tested against the new database before anything goes live.

The new environment is built and tested in parallel while your existing site keeps running untouched. You approve the new site at a staging address. Go-live is a DNS cutover with a final data sync — visitors are directed to the new site while the old one still answers, so there's no gap. The old server is retired only after the new site is verified in production.

Every project gets a fixed-price quote after a free consultation and a look at the existing site. The quote is the price — no hourly meters, no change-order surprises for anything in the agreed scope. Ongoing cloud hosting costs are itemized separately and paid by you directly to the provider, so there's no markup and no dependency.

No. IIS Rescue is project-based by design. Every project ends with a full documentation handover — hosting details, where credentials live, architecture notes, and how-to steps — so any competent IT provider can maintain the site after handover. No proprietary lock-in, no mystery systems.

This is common and usually solvable. Depending on what still exists, the site can be recovered from the server itself, from hosting-provider backups, or reconstructed from the live site and database. The consultation establishes what access exists before any quote is given, so recovery work is scoped honestly.
