I am using a shared IIS and SQL Server with hosting company x. Due to severe performance problems with the shared Web Server, I had to find another hosting company y to host the website. As company y does not host shared SQL Server, I have kept the database at company x (I know this is bad, but is only temporary until I get a dedicated server sorted out). So I redirect traffic to the new website, everything is working fine. But I have realised that as my web server and database server are in different locations my connection string in ASP could be sniffed. What is the possibility of this happening. Is there anything I can do? It will be at least a month before I can go dedicated.

Not really - that's a long way for those creds to travel and if your risk level is high then I suggest to get a provider that can park your SQL Server closer to the application.
