It depends on the purpose why you want to use another database.. but yes, you can create another configuration file, or make a connection in wp-config.php itself.. No issue at all.

You just need to the following:
1) Move all your files (make sure ALL files) and database to the new host
2) Take the database name, username and password from your new host
3) Open the wp-config.php file and enter the details there ( you can use any editor like notepad to edit php files)
4) Change the domain name using the steps here:
