Is it possible to move the forum to a new webhost?

Yes. Close the forum, copy the database and files to your new host and re-point the "A" records. Re-open the forum on the new host and wait for the A record changes to propagate (anyone who sees the old forum will get the closed message).
A good host should be helping you achieve the move - if they aren't interested, then perhaps you've made the wrong choice!MARK.B

For a different domain, you should update the URL settings in the admincp *before* making the transfer.
Otherwise, the process is much the same.MARK.B

Yes that's basically it.
You'll struggle to get into the admincp if you do it the other way round.MARK.B
