Use Akeeba to copy the current site and install on the new server. You may need to make some internal config changes after that.

Personally I would do that with CSVI (http://www.csvimproved.com/)

But Surely there's a way of migrating products and category's from one vm2 to another with out subscribing  to a company is the no way through the database or somekind

if you can migrate virtuemart 1 to a virtuemart 2 there really should be a way that a can do vm2 to vm2 this would save a lot of time adding products & Category's that have already been added to another website

Of course you can do it using phpMyAdmin to copy all VM tables and also copy the relevant category/product  image directories. Just takes longer and there is more to do wrong if you are not used to handling databases.

Increase the max_execution_time in your php.ini and resync.

Now you see why I use CSVi.
