I am switching web host and do I just move the files and create the same database?
Backup database, import it to new database on new host, copy across files, edit new database details into ./inc/config.php
I have made a new database, The same one as the old host. I have uploaded all the files. Is that all I need to do?
Import your database files to your new database and upload all your other files via ftp.
How do I upload my database files to my new database, Sorry I am new at this.
If you've imported the backup file to the database, copied the forum files across, and edited the new database details into config.php, then that's all you need to do.
phpmyadmin, did you export your files from your old database as a .sql file ?

If you did then import that file via phpmyadmin to your new database.
I just uploaded everything from my old FTP to my new FTP. I have a backup where does that go?
The backup is your database, import it to your new database via phpmyadmin.
