    Upload the forum files to your webspace. Upload the database files to your mysql server. Link them both (I assume it's done in the vbulletin install process... I'm only familiar with phpbb)

    Doing it via phpmyadmin you may get timeouts due to the size of the file.
    It might be easier to get your host to do it for you
