Code-first database migrations with web host providers other than Azure?

Question

I've been reading through this[^] and I don't have a clear picture of whether the database migration happens automatically when the application "starts up" if I don't use Azure as the host provider.

Currently I'm using WinHost, and there's no "console" that I can open to do things like force a migration.

So, do migrations work on non-Azure web host providers?

It does - so long as the account in the connection string has the kind of access required to create tables and so on...

(Personally I don't like it to have that access so I tend to create/update the database independently of the application)
