It's definitely a bit of an undertaking. I could go on for hours about how to best optimize a website to increase conversions... but it all depends on your goals.

What he said ^
What you are doing now is trying to find an oddball cart system to work with an even more oddball web editor (Frontpage) that most people hate. This is causing you to jump through some gawdawful hoops and suffer some oddball tech issues (VPS Windows Server
).
I don't have an answer for you specifically as what I might do might not be best for you. But you should have a discussion with Pros or investigate from a clean slate.
There are plenty of packages out there that run well, reasonable costs, and are reliable. Miva, Zencart, just two quick examples. You would be well served to find a company that specializes in hosting these systems that can walk you through a bit of it.
