Yes you can but how you do it depends on what database version you are using.

Access or SQL Server?

If it is the 'Lite' version then it will be Access.

All you need to do is copy all the files across to the new server including the Access database to keep all members, posts, and settings.

If the person is moving to a paid web host then they should consider upgrading to the full version as the 'Lite' version is for free web hosting accounts, to make it compatible with cut down free hosting accounts it has a number of features disabled, some security features disabled, and less performance.

If you want to transfer data from one MS SQL Server to another, the best way I have found is to install MS SQL Server on your own machine, then use the 'Enterprise Manager' that comes with SQL Server to export the database to your loacl machine then export it from your local machine to the new SQL Server database.
