I have no idea about PHP.

I have PHP site hosted on Server A. Now I want to transfer the hosting to another company having Windows hosting on Server B.

Can I just transfer all the contents of WWWROOT folder of Server A to Server B? Will the site work that way? Or I do have to get the source, compile and publish it?

Thanks!

    the process is this:

    1. copy the content from server A to B (also db dump)
    2. make sure your site is working on server B correct
    3. set a redirect on server A to server B (usually in .htaccess file)
    4. edit DNS entries to point to server B
    5. wait that DNS changes have been picked up (note: as suggested by Emil you can reduce this time by lowering TTL setting on the DNS entries)
    6. remove content from server A (end hosting)
