i would like to ask to cPanel development team & support for implement Plesk Windows to cPanel/WHM Linux as an available feature.

as there is no way to migrate account from plesk windows to cPanel/WHM

cPanel team must have look for this implement & i hope cPanel team will get it done soon.

How do you recommend we deal with users using ASP.NET, MSSQL and similar Windows-specific technologies with such a migration?

I am assuming these customers are using a (typically) more expensive Windows hosting plan because they want to use Microsoft technologies that are Windows-specific.

Hi David. Not trying to be the devil's advocate here but we all understand, there are going to be potential bottle necks. I believe the author also realizes this. Perhaps we can start with having a a basic migration utility and later workaround will be proposed for further issues. Yes, windows clients use ASP.NET, MSSQL, but not all of them. Some just don't sign up for Linux just for the sake of it being Linux and Windows being Windows. Even mail enable and IIS may have very specific portability issues to Linux in cases but I would love to see something like a basic migration script that transports web data, MySQL, FTP accounts, email accounts etc if not more. Some weak migration utility is better than having none I guess.

I would love to have this, but it is probably going to be too late by the time its developed since i have just 2 weeks to move my domains to the whm server. I will try to do it manually.

regards!
