Read this tutorial, it's really good and everything is there what you need:

First of all take backup of database export database file on your pc. Then take backup for ur forum folder compress it and download it,...

Then change the host and then on new host again import ur database and files that u have backed up,..

Uncompress the files and ur site is ready... IF it gives error that cannot connect to databse then change setting in /inc/config.php and change it to your new host mysql database information you just created.

Note: only change the following lines:
Code:
$config['hostname'] = ' ';
$config['username'] = ' ';
$config['password'] = ' ';
$config['database'] = ' ';
$config['table_prefix'] = 'mybb_';
Now edit /inc/settings.php and edit the settings.



If you type in your new domain address followed by /admin then you will be directed to the new Admin CP.
Then change (in your settings) the board URL to the new URL, and the other options of a similar nature, obviously.

Before doing so, ensure all files are correctly CHMOD'ed.

after creating database how to create user then add it to database
and what is chmod

Why you have to make user? You have to import your old database to that new one.
