Yes you absolutely can.

Windows, Apache, MySQL and PHP.

You can run PHP with IIS, as well, if that's your preference over Apache.

I know. Just my 10 cents input.
Must run off now and make a LAMP server.

1350810 2013-08-07 23:43:00 Larry here - thanks for the suggestions and ideas guys.
We'll certainly look at the htaccess approach that Fred suggested.

We've already got the development version of the site running on a desktop using XAMPP, which in a sense is a VPS anyway, so I guess setting one up under Linux shouldn't be too scary.

It looks like the way to go is to just acquire a Linux VPS, spend some time getting up to speed with it, then migrate the site when we're comfortable with using it.

A bit more expensive than shared, but at least it'll give us an opportunity to explore implementation options, such as Nginx vs Apache.

Cheers
