Classic ASP server wheel ASP.NET?
I have a whole site made in Classic ASP and hosted on a provider.
My client - who is a multinational-wants to put their website Inside the company's global server and the guideline that came from outside says the server runs ASP.NET.
My doubt is:
I can run my site (in Classic ASP) right on their server (which runs ASP.NET)? or is some tweaking required on the server?
As far as I know, Classic ASP and ASP.NET run on Windows. Basically my doubt is, if once running ASP.NET can I confirm that the Classic ASP will run as well? Or is this not guaranteed?
Because my fear is that because it is a global support-and it is not guaranteed that it will run-that they will refuse to make the adjustments to run claiming anything.

Yes, it is possible, not least because there is no ASP server or ASP.NET, there is the HTTP server that has the ability to run these technologies. In case, it's Windows, right? Then it must be running IIS. It has the ability to rotate both. Of course you will eventually have to do the configuration correctly to support the way you need, but probably the default will already run.
Of course I just see how it is. There are those who disable anything unnecessary, and especially technologies legacy, as is the case with ASP. This is done for good reason and I would see with good eyes that refuse to enable because of their specific need. Nothing against you, of course:) but safety and simplicity should come first.
If you need to run some extra components to give more functionality, they will need to be installed on that server. It is common for this to happen. Will they do what you need, if necessary?
Will you have access to the server? You can do what need?
If you need specific information, please post new questions here on the site that we help. There is no way to give an answer that says everything to do, without at least knowing if it will be relevant.
It is difficult to answer this kind of question better, since it depends a lot on the environment. I said it works, but it may not work depending on the configuration that is there.
IIS natively supports both environments and generally hosting services and system administrators feature ASP Clássico enabled however, it is not a premise.
If the feature is not enabled and you do not have access to the server settings I believe that a brief ticket for those responsible for infrastructure will solve your problem.
Follows the procedure to enable pages in ASP Clássico in IIS 6.0 or top:
