I get this error:

------------------------

The database was backed up on a server running version 10.50.1600. That version is incompatible with this server, which is running version 10.00.1600. Either restore the database on a server that supports the backup, or use a backup that is compatible with this server.

-------------------------

Is there any easy way to do this (my databases are in two different shared hosting providers). I read about an old publishing wizard from MS but it only works for 2000 + 2005?

Those aren't two versions of SQL 2008.
10.50.1600 is SQL 2008 R2, 10.00.1600 is SQL 2008. They're different versions entirely (just like 2005 and 2008) and you can't restore a database down-version ever.

Script the objects, export all the data and recreate the database on SQL 2008

Can you use bcp? SSIS? Import/export wizard?
