Yes. What you will want to do is to backup all of the CPG files. You will also have to backup your mySQL database file. After switching to a new webhost, simply restore the mySQL database, and reupload the CPG files from your backup. (Note: If you have shell access, simply create a tarball and restore the tarball to your new webhost).

You may need to create a mySQL username and password to access the database on your new server. If you do then simply enter the user/pass combo into the ./include/config.inc.php file.

Hope this helps,
