Too bad the website actually got blocked thats why i needed to move to a new host
you don't need your old site if you have ftp-backup and database-backup

follow the instruction in the linked doc, from beginning up to the end!

and why was it blocked?

i imported the database, changed the config.php credentials, basically i did everything but it shows this page

No index file is found when calling your domain.
1. your domain must redirect to the forums directory
or
2. you must call your forum like this: https://example.com/forums
