    1) First take backup of your site files via FTP
    2) Take a Backup of the Corresponding MYSQL Database
    3) Change the Name Servers to your new Host
    4) Upload the Site Files via FTP
    5) Login into Control Panel, Create a New MySQL Database and Restore the Data to it from the Database Backup file.
    6) Edit the wp-config.php file to fit with the correct Database settings
    7) Thats All !

    You can also hire me to do this job for 5$ :) Please PM me if you want to do this....
