While you would want to go with Windows hosting for an ASP based website, you really probably want to do Linux hosting.
Linux hosting gets you the advantages of PHP (scripting language) and MySQL (database), which are free and easy to learn web development technologies. Microsoft's stuff tends to be more proprietary, and a lot less has been developed for ASP/MSSQL in the open source community.
If you absolutely must use ASP, use Windows. If you can use Dreamweaver to make flat HTML or want to learn how to do some dynamic things with PHP and MySQL, get yourself a linux account and save yourself the pain later of fighting to get ASP to do what you want.
