moving from windows to linux web hosting


All my websites are hosted with DotNetPark (windows based server). I am now doing affiliate marketing and I purchase and installed affiliate software with GoDaddy. This affiliate software requires a linux/Perl hosting account.
Everything works fine, BUT the main reason why I started an affiliate program is because people can place links to my site on their blogs and websites. Because my hosting account of the affiliate software is hosted on a different server, the backlinks are pointing to the domain I set up just for this affiliate software (VolkinAffiliate.info). Thus, ruining the very reason of my whole marketing efforts. My goal is to have everything hosted on one account, but one is Linux/Perl based and the other is windows, do you know how I can get them all on one account?

That depends heavily on what you need moved between the accounts to get everything on one account. If you're talking simple web apps like wordpress that is relatively trivial to migrate, you install wordpress, take a backup, and import it on the new system. If you're talking custom .net software you're looking at something completely different that might require recoding of applications.

There really isn't enough detail here to speculate beyond asking for additional details on the software you're running and what you need migrated.

thanks for the reply, my website consists of asp files mostly, some dynamic content but mostly static html. I would say about 80% of it is static and 20% dynamic.

Would it be a better idea just to make a static homepage and keep the rest of the website on the windows based server while migrating the homepage to the linux server with the affiliate software?

It greatly depends on what you're trying to accomplish exactly. If that would effectively solve your problem then it's a fair solution implementable with little effort, it leaves you split between two servers though and I don't know how acceptable that is to you in the long run since you end up paying two bills, etc.

They would require unique names sure, but you can spread your stuff across as many domains, subdomains, etc as you want. If the requirement is that it all be under a single domain and no utilization of subdomains and such then that's another requirement and changes the possible solutions.
