Hello!
I've recently changed my host company to an another one and I would like to know how (If possible) can I move the WHOLE mybb forum, including all the posts and the members, to the new one.
You might want to check this before you begin:

In addition:
You can export your database from phpMyAdmin and import it via phpMyAdmin on the new server. If you are not changing the domain or MyBB's directory you will simply have to update your database configuration in inc/config.php, the rest of the files should stay the same - just download and reupload them to the new server.

Make sure that your directories are writable by logging in to the admin panel and going to the debug page - on the new server.

This is a common question, this answer should still be valid:

I can help but I might only be able to do it tomorrow. Send me your details (old host and new host) if that's fine.
