The first thing I would do is take a backup of your database, after you have created the backup, then install the backup on the new server. When it´s done, copy Umbraco files and folder of your Umbraco 4.5.2 to the new server, using e.g FileZilla as FTP program.
The last thing is, remember to change the connections string to the database so it points to the new database on the new server.
Thanks for your reply I had a littletrouble gettingpermission toimport thedatabaseon the new server, but that was becausethe databasecontainedtables froman old umbraco. When Ideletedall the tablesin the databaseandimportthe file again, it worked fine.

Hi Dennis
Thanks for your reply
I had a little trouble getting permission to import the database on the new server, but that was because the database contained tables from an old umbraco.
When I deleted all the tables in the database and import the file again, it worked fine.
Thanks for the help
