How do you convert .asp files?

i want to change servers but the new host does not recognize .asp filesHow do you convert .asp files?
You have to have your website hosted on a machine that can process asp files. If the host machine in a linux machine, make sure that ';Chilisoft ASP'; is an option for your hosting site. Windows servers now use ';.aspx'; for ASP.NET web applications.How do you convert .asp files?
Convert them to what? What does the new server support?



Basically, ASP is a programming language - you should have gotten a new server that DID support them because unless they are able to support them, you'll have to rewrite the entire web site.



Think about it like it was 1950 and you have a bible in english (asp) and need it to be converted to russian (php) (for example) because the minister (server) doesn't speak english, only russian. There is no ';automated'; way of converting it - you need to hire a translater (programmer) who speaks both languages to get the bible in a form that the minister (server) understands - russian (php).
