1. Get yourself a simple host provider that gives you roughly the same versions for PHP and MYSQL as your current home install. For starters, choose a shared host with plesk or something simple like that. Make sure you're getting phpmyadmin if you're used to that.
2. export your database and move it to your host (import)
3. Go over your code and check for windows-only references. The first things that come to mind are paths (c:\yourpath\www\yoursite\ versus /var/www/yoursite/ for isntance)
4. Put your code on the site.
5. test. If you find problems, go to stap 3. If you don't, go to step 6)
6. ...
