If you remember what database name, username, password you set up, you should be able to just move the database to the new host with that same name and credentials and the store should connect with it.

If you have the final release version, you should be able to go to Configure -> Security -> Database in your merchant admin and see the value there.

So you can connect to the database, but you can't encrypt the connection string at the hoster? Ours is the same way on shared hoster and they have said it can't be done because they won't set the permissions that way. Our charge card info in the db is encrypted, though.
