    Hi

    I have a client who's site is hosted on Linux, I have several MYSQL databases set up.

    The client has now found some application that they want to use, but it requires Windows hosting or it won't work.

    I know nothing about Windows hosting, so can anyone please explain the work involved in moving the site over to a Windows server?

    Thanks in advance :)

    Most windows servers run MySQL as well, for moving databases, you should just be able to do a dump from the Linux server, and import the data into the Windows server, as long as they are running the same version MySQL.
