Wat do i need to do for that?

upload the files to new server

then should i go on with the installations as normal a new site installation requires and then restore the db

i hv upgraded from 6.0 so will that b a problem?

Couldn't you just do a backup from your old site, then move that one file to your new installation and do a restore?  Sorry, not sure where that file should go.

See the thread at www.modmysite.com.  search for "how can I change address"  Mrpowless provides nice instructions there.  Yeah, Mrpowless!

if backing up the entire website and copying isnt possible then wat should i do? which specific files and directories to copy?

it is possible.  i've done it a few times myself.  follow mrpowless' instructions on www.modmysite.

If you are moving from 6.0 to 6.1 you have to upgrade the database.

Just make a install in new server and import the database to phpmyadmin and edit inc/header.inc.php

then change the database info to the new transfered database.
