    Sure it's possible.

    Can you be more specific though? What kind of forum software are you using i.e. phpBB2?

    Moving a forum takes time and can be complicated. You might want to hire someone.

      1. Zip the forum script folder in your public_html. Download it to your computer and upload to your new site. Unzip it.

      2. Backup the database on your present site > upload it to your new site > restore thru phpmyadmin. If you ask your new host they might do it thru telnet.

      I know many people moved from Godaddy. May I know why you are moving to them, especially with an active forum?

    or go to scriptlance and pay someone $15 to do it all for you!

    I did that when I changed hosts - I think I paid $35 to move a BIG forum and a couple of blogs

    i am using
    Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group
    so its the old version of phpbb

    the reason is that i find the current host constantly has down time so the forum is offline alot!!!

    the other reason is i pay $50 per year and it would be alot cheaper on my go daddy hosting account!!
