Can anyone help me by telling me how to shift a forum from one hosting to another????

1) Go to admin cp -> tools and maintenance -> Back up the database with all tables.

2) Backup all your mybb files from cpanel or ftp.

In the new host panel :

3) Go to other host Create new database and user, give rights of the database to the user.

4) Go to phpmyadmin and click import. Then browse your db file and wait for sometime until its imported successfully. For big databases you will need to use programs such as "BigDump" (might screw up unicode characters :/ )

5) Upload your mybb files.

6) Go to inc/config.php and change all the details of database such as the new user , database name and database password.

Thanks sage you helped me a lot!!!!
