Linux Hosting question by : Is it easy or possible to completely migrate a website from IIS to shared Linux hosting?
I am working on a number of websites and have found it EXTREMELY convenient to use Microsoft’s Web Deployment Installer to quick-start some of these sites. Most of them are Drupal and WordPress, and thus do not have any programming that is uniquely “Windows.” The problem is, I have no idea how to access the databases for these sites nor even how to back them up.
I would like to know if I can go ahead and finish building these sites, with data, settings, and all intact, and then back them up and migrate them to a shared linux hosting account that will likely have cPanel.
Any help here will make my world a lot easier.
Wanted to add details that ALL of my sites are installed using MySQL – or so I am led to believe. IIS is completely new to me as I’ve previously been learning using remote hosting; using the Web Deployment Tool is a new thing out of convenience.

Answer by Gardner
If you don’t use anything that is Windows then it SHOULD be just a simple matter of using FTP to transfer the sites.
I did the opposite, going from Unix to IIS and that was all I had to do. FTP down from current website to my desktop, then FTP up to the new site.
Worked great.
