How to move SMF to a new server without the database.

I am using SMF on 000webhost for testing. I am almost finished and have loads of customization and mods in the smf and theme. Now I need to move the entire thing to my own domain on godaddy. There are no topics or posts to migrate as I will start everything fresh but I want the customization to be intact.
Please help.

if any of the mods made changes to the database which most do, you cannot move the files without the database.

Honestly, take the database too, because it contains all your settings choices...

Is it a free 000webhost account or paid?  Some free hosts will sell you your database, but it may be incomplete, and not useable without major work.  Salvaged one once, but don't remember which free host it came from.
