(d) using a contribution as Sam said Sorry for jumping in, that is what I want to know too! How to restore a store to a new server hosting though? I don't know much about server, could you please provide the info a little detail. Thank you for your help! If I register a new domain in the new server, anything needs to be changed after restoring?

Using Database backup manager is the easest way to backup, then restore your dbase, as that can do things like partial restores, if you need to. At your new site you would need to go over your configure files, to reflect the new server & changes in dbase login, also check your local folders (if your copying files across too) as well as any htaccess files.
