    1) Backup the site. (done)
    2) Backup the DB in addition to full site backup (done)

    Option 1:
    Do a fresh install of WP and import DB

    .. Install plugins and temple - re do template modifications..


    Option2:
    Just restore the full backup on the new host.. (No additional changes -- Just be done)

    Any other options?
    What is the best option?

    Thanks
