Your programming experience would cross translate to (very roughly):
C/C++ = PHP/ASP-JScript
VB = ASP/VBScript/ASP.NET

The biggest hurdle when programming for the net is that you don't have
the same 'control' that you have in a desktop environment. Just look
at the number of browsers that are available, the number of different
screen resolutions etc. These are things that you can't 'control' with
a web application.

Another big difference is that all web servers suffer from bad cases
of Alzheimers. Once a web server has deliverd its requested
information it immediately forgets who you are. This is circomvented
by the use of Session variables and Cookies.

Yes you can change. All it would require is copying your files to the
new server, deleting the files from the old server and changing a few
other details.

But you would have to ensure the new provider catered for the language
you used in your web pages (ASP/PHP etc) and whatever database you
used.

Don't forget about domain registration. Your client will want their
own name for a web site ie. http://www.mycompany.com not
http://myprovider.com/~mycompany
