Changing to another host . . .

[pts123]

I'm moving my vBulletin 4.0.8 from one host to another. They both use the standard Control Panel, the DB is MySQL and they both have PHPAdmin available.

I have copied the directory holding the site over, but not sure which is the best way to do the DB?

Do I want to just do a normal backup wizard type backup of the database, it creates a sql.gz file. Then go create the database at the new host and restore into it . . . or . . . use PHPAdmin and do an export locally. And I was told I can then on the new host do a PHPAdmin import?

Which way is best and since I cannot create the same DB name either way, where do I find the config file in the vBulletin directory to let it know the new database name, Help and Thanks
