    Export the database with phpmyadmin and import it on the new host.

    Hmm, if you don't really know exactly what you're doing, I suggest that you have someone help you. Yes, it's a simple import/export process, but then getting the forum to point correctly to the database in the new location is not also straightforward. Just open a new thread and ask people to bid. Last time the best offer I had was free, but I just needed to leave iTrader. Haha, eventually I paid someone $5, and he did a great job, and is still helping me with other tasks.

    Good luck! :)

    Then modify your configuration file to reflect the new host username and password.
