My sites run using X-Works. It's a 32 bit app which allows multiple sessions of multiple programs to run *very* fast from one server. This allows VFP to be the scripting engine. You just get your Foxpro program to generate a single string (== the web page) which is returned to vfpwebn.exe. No new languages or fancy APIs to learn (except HTML of course :-)
Check out...
http://www.ht.com.au
is probably the most successful commercial internet site in Australia at the moment. We are turning over millions of dollars worth of business pa in a country of 18mill people.
X-Works also drives the universal thread site. See the /cgi-bin/vfpwebn.exe in the URL at the top of your browser right now?

ASP and FoxISAPI are either too slow, can't handle multiple sessions well, and require a fair amount of learning.
(No - I'm not a salesman for X-works :-))
