    Hi quista,
    You should go to your hosting cPanel then find phpMyAdmin and make export your database for Wordpress. It will save your Wordpress database on your local PC. Then you should go to other hosting cPanel then find phpMyAdmin and make import your database.

    Also you should set a new database credentials(login and password) in wp-config.php file.
