Problem Description:
I know how to transfer all the html etc files to my new location but what about the db itself? I know there's an option at the admin centre to backup the db - shall I need that? I don't have PhpMyAdmin should I get that? The backup script by Greg Robson isn't up anymore at least not on that url which is given at http://www.yabbse.org/community/index.php?thread=7224  
Does someone have like super super easy instructions cause I find these things way too difficult

I would recommend the first thing you do is backup the database.

Then, I would recommend that you get phpMyAdmin.  It is a powerful tool that may offer this option.

I am not sure if what you are requesting is possible, but if it is, phpMyAdmin will most likely have the option.

OK thanks will download the phpmyadmin now

Yes it's possible and it's even pretty straightforward!

Note that SSH provides a useful alternative to phpMyAdmin (particularly for larger DBs), although you should certainly ask for or install phpMyAdmin anyway if you don't already have it.
