I moved to a new server just today.. I am using vB 3.6.11 PL 1 and my website is not small. 6,000+ members, 500,000+ posts and I managed to move to a new server just fine. All I did was:

Old Server:

- Backup Database From old host (SQL Format | Phpmyadmin)
- Backup files from old host (Entire Directory in ZIP format)
- Make a XML Database file backup (phpmyadmin, and also, this comes in handy)

New Server:

- Upload the Zip file and extract everything (Now, everything is the same as it was on old server)
- Created the SAME NAME database (on old server, I had _forum, and on new one, I created _forum) but with different prefixes.
- Created the SAME USER (on old server, I had _user, and on new one, I created _user)
- Imported the database successfully via phpmyadmin
- Edited the Config.php file
- Updated tables (Ran analysis and refresh query)
- The site in now ready again

The downtime was only about 12 minutes for the site.. I dunno how you guys have problem.. well.. everyone has problems. lol
