This is seriously bad advice. Given you seem to be new at least around here, that's understandable, but you may want to get some experience under your belt first before offering advice or even offering to work on other people's installations. You seem not to fully understand what using impex does.
Impex is not for migrating installations to new server/host. It is not necessary at all, and in fact has serious drawbacks. Most important: It will reset all your threadids, postids, userids and so on, and thus break all links to your site and damage search engine listing.
