Ok I upload the files to the new host and go to the new url and get this error.
MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.

SQL Error:
2002 - Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
Query:
[READ] Unable to connect to MySQL server
Is your database login info all correct?
I believe so, I've never used limedomains, here is the config.php info.

$config['database']['type'] = 'mysql';
$config['database']['database'] = 'TimeToTalkForumsDatabase';
$config['database']['table_prefix'] = 'mybb_';

$config['database']['hostname'] = 'localhost';
$config['database']['username'] = '*censored.';
$config['database']['password'] = '*censored';
Try as your database....

If your database username doesn't have this "username_database" prefix also insert it in.

Let us know if it works.
Nope it looks like this now.

$config['database']['type'] = 'mysql';
$config['database']['database'] = '*username_TimeToTalkForumsDatabase';
$config['database']['table_prefix'] = 'mybb_';

$config['database']['hostname'] = 'localhost';
$config['database']['username'] = '*username_TimeToTalkForumsDatabase';
$config['database']['password'] = '*sniped';
Have you granted all privileges to your username and database?
Indeed I have.
This could be your hosts problem. Maybe MySQL is down or not functioning correctly. Have you contacted them?
No I will tell my friend to do so, thanks for your help so far.
Are you sure your DB host is localhost and not something else?
