I don't know about the hosts but I have done this before many times and actually I just did it a couple weeks ago with my site.

Make a full back up of your database and ftp it along with your whole site to your new server....

On your new server, create a new database... use either big dump or SSH to import your database... I went out and bought a program called navicat that works well and it allows you to not have to work with all the commands etc when using ssh... andhow, just import your database and change your config.php and you will be back up. You will then have to change what ever paths are effected....
