I am using both metasun as well as Google Analytics, yet I am recieving double the amount of page views from meta sun as I am from Google Analytics. Does anyone have this same issue or any insight into the issue?
If you are using the ASP tracking method in MetaTraffic, you're going to get more hits because Google Analytics uses javascript to track visitors (client side code) and MetaTraffic uses ASP (server side code) so the results are going to be completely different. In this scenario, more visitors are going to be able to execute the MetaTraffic tracking code because its not hindered by limitations on the client. For very busy sites, this would only amount to 10% or less of traffic but if you only have a few thousand (or less) visitors a day, this extra client tracking could easily account for the double traffic you are seeing in MetaTraffic.

Is there another option besides the ASP way for MetaTraffic that we can possibly suggest our host to use?

Yes, you can use javascript tracking.
