    baree,
    If your old host has cPanel or some well-known control panel, most hosts will transfer your websites for free after you order an account from them.

    Transfer files to new server , then transfer the mysql db connect it to the site and then change the nameservers

    Changes made on the source site between data transfer and nameservers change will be lost. DNS data propagation can take up to tens hours... It's better to turn site to maintenance mode to avoid data loss - up to you what is more important, time for messing with data or some downtime
