    Copy all files via ftp

    Create database export in phpmyadmin.

    Upload new files to new server

    Upload database import to phpmyadmin. Manually change the url (if different) in database tables.

    Sure, but you can bulk delete all the pages, but at least you have themes, plugins and other assets intact!

    You will need yo go into phpmyadmin and check the wp_options table. There are 2 references to the old path which you need to swap to the new url.
