How To Transfer Wordpress Blog To Another Host?

    Hi there, has anyone know of an easy-to-understand wordpress blog transfer guide?
    I'm transferring my old wordpress site to a new host. So I backed up the files and mysql database on my computer.
    I've installed a new wordpress site to my new host. It's fresh, working fine and no problem. After that, I imported the backup mysql database thru the myphp admin. To my surprise, when I now type the domain, the wordpress site doesn't appear, it actually redirects to another domain of mine.

    I've checked my cpanel to see if the domain is set to redirect but it's not. Neither the domain name is forwarded to this site where it redirects. Is there any file/database in my wordpress admin that i need to change to change the redirection?

    Thanks

    In the wp_options table make sure the home and siteurl entries both point to the correct domain.

    Then if it appears as a blank page. Login to your wordpress blog admin and change the theme.
