it's should be pretty easy.

 

download your entire /catalog/ directory and upload it to the new server

download your database

create a new database on the new server and give it a user

import your existing database

update your /includes/configure.php and /admin/includes/configure.php and upload it to the new server

update any permissions that need to be done

update the appropriate values in your admin configuration to the new domain

 

ps there's countless threads about this should be pretty easy to find in search

did you make a database with nothing in it to start with? Then log into the database via phpmyadmin, select import, and select the backed up database and it will upload and make the tables (this can take a while)
