    Goto cpanel file manager Compress complete public_html folder or the wordpress blog folder

    Upload the files to the new host under public_html

    goto new host cpanel extract the files.

    If you want to keep the same name that is fine or else goto old host phpmyadmin take the back up and upload to the new host.

    If you need any further help post here.

    cPanel to cPanel moves are easy with most hosting plans. Most cross cPanel migrations are free with many hosting providers.

    I suggest you to contact your new hosting provider and give them your current hosting control panel access to judge through the files and lend you a hand to migrate over instead of scratching your head at here.
