Fastest way to change servers for wordpress

I had my blog collection project, Gambus, to be transferred to another web server within minutes last nite. Things I’ve done;

1. Export the whole database using phpMySqlAdmin to something.sql.

2. Download the /public_hitml/blog folder. Skip if you have the exact files already in your local storage.

3. Edit the wp-config.php file with new database user/password.

4. Import something.sql at your new database.

5. Upload the files to new web server.

You are done within 5 simple steps and maybe at this stage you need to change the name server of the domain.tld, just in case they are different.
