It should do. You may have to change some settings in the web.config to match your new environment. Database connection strings for example, you'll want to turn debugging off, etc.

There may be IIS settings that you need to change that require admin rights, if it isn't already set up for you.

Publish the website, copy the PrecompiledWeb folder that was created in the publish operation to the server and put it in the correct place.
