Winmx 4 Eva Move - Help

Hello, Winmx4Eva have been hosted on myfreeforum (php) just under a year now, and we have quite alot of ads and banners. Although i do like myfreeforum they have there problems. So i was searching around for a free forum hoster with no ads or banners. I found one, well at least i good one anyway, they are freeforums. Although freeforums look good i suppose they have to keep there .freeforums.org thingy. I was looking on there site and they are quite cheap to buy from. I think its something like £5.00 for the below:

Level3:
Cost: $9.95/month
Diskspace: 100gigs
Bandwidth: 1000gigs

Included Features:*
Free phpbb installation
Free template installation
Free database transfer

So i was wondering. My current forum is hosted by myfreeforum.org. If i wanted to switch hosts could i transfer all members and posts to the new hoster without loosing anything? I see there is Free database transfer. Is that moving everything from one forum to another? If i bought the above would i be able to get rid of the crappy .freeforums.org thingy and replace it with maybe a .com one? Thanks in advance.

if you read the website at myfreeforum.org it tells you there is a fee for transferring the forum

and if you click the link on freeforums.org it's just a standard hostgator web hosting account, which requires a domain name

If your any good wid php like im not. Ive just invested in a windows server which im replacing with 2 linux servers next month on the basis of what i wanted the servers for are useless with the OS i picked. I know i should of checked but hay blame KM. So if you wana hold out, and sort out your own domain. I dont mind you using a percentage for your site, The only payment will be helping me fix php every time i mess my site up
