If your with a decent host they should be able to switch you for free. If not make a backup of all your files and database(s) and transfer them to your new host.

Here is 2 tutorials

I need to back up my php admin thing now i dun not how to do that.

Read this thread carefully-http://community.mybb.com/thread-27771.html
it says

Quote:First go into your MyBB administrator control panel and disable all plugins then go down to Database Tools on the left frame and select Backup Database. Once you are brought to a new page on the right you will see a box with all of your database tables, on the left of that you will see "Select All", click that. Now make sure the following fields are checked:

GZIP Compressed
Download
Structure and Data
Analyse and Optimise Selected Tables: YES
Perform a sequential backup? YES


Now it will ask you to download the database file. Save it to your desktop or where ever you want.

i do that but when i upload to the new host this is what it says:

Error

SQL query:

--
-- Database: a5901984_Tester
--
-- --------------------------------------------------------
--
-- Table structure for table mybb_adminlog
--
CREATE TABLE mybb_adminlog (
uid int( 10 ) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
ipaddress varchar( 50 ) NOT NULL default '',
dateline bigint( 30 ) NOT NULL default '0',
module varchar( 50 ) NOT NULL default '',
action varchar( 50 ) NOT NULL default '',
data text NOT NULL ,
KEY module ( module , action )
) ENGINE = MYISAM DEFAULT CHARSET = utf8;

MySQL said: Documentation
#1046 - No database selected

Yes, you have to log into your control panel, create a new user (for example forum) and then
go to PHPMyAdmin,
select `a5901984_forum from the left menu
Click "import" up in the top nav bar
click browse and find the backup you made from the MyBBAdmin panel
Click Go

Did this work?
