Moving from Windows Server to Linux Server - GoDaddy

I am currently moving from a Windows Server on GoDaddy to a Linux Server. They said that they will move all my files for me and my databases. Are there any issues I should be concerned about besides the Email (SMTP, etc.)

Do I have to reinstall the store again for it to work or should it just work as they are moving the databases for me..

I do not see any issues besides email and server path to be concerned about. Please let me know if there is anything to worry about or any other advise...

I have moved from different hosts before to GoDaddy. But never from Windows to Linux on the same host.

Thanks!

I moved in a similar way and had broken images because I was not careful about case sensitivity. (I had a mix of filenames with .jpg and .JPG) Linux requires proper case windows does not.
Otherwise, youll be the first to know:smile:
