Basically it is possible to move any and every script from one server to the other server as long as that perticular server side scripting language is present on the new server.

As far as joomla is concerned, it is based on PHP, and smokyhosts.com features php on the servers, so you my easily move joomla too.

So I just transfer my old server to this server and use phpmyadmin to backup sql data and import to this one right?

Thats correct, it is as simple as that.

The only one more thing you will have to do is you must search for the config file of joomla,and manually edit it to change the mysql variables. Unless and untill you do this it wont work.
