XF 1.5 Changing web host

[ArtG]

Hi,

I need to change my web host. Is there a tutorial or how-to on how to go about doing that correctly so I don't mess up my existing forum?

Thanks,

Art

Not necessarily. Normally if doing a cPanel -> cPanel then they may be willing to do it. But if it is an unmanaged vps/dedi then odds are they won't.
