The main features of the new host are that it has 'unlimited' bandwidth (although there may be throttling if this is abused) and a greater disk storage limit. However it is a very cheap hosting service (cheaper than the one I use for bbcbasic.co.uk) so I can't give any assurances about reliability.
Interestingly, I was able to move the forum to a new host without having any administrative access to the forum at all, which probably came as a surprise to the admin (DDRM)!
