    You can use phpmyadmin to export the datebase and then re-import it back at the new host.

    Or if you have command line access, you can use mysql commands to export SQL statements that describe your database, transfer the file to the new server, then re-execute those statements to import your database.

    If it is a large database (bigger than a couple megabytes) you'll probably have to do it via the command line. If your host doesn't offer shell access, ask them to do a dump of it for you.

    Dump and restore --- Its fairly simple from the command line or using phpMyAdmin as suggested above.

    Or, if you have access to the server by using a program like MySQLFront you can 'download' the dump to your local system first and upload it thereafter.
