    you just want to move your old site to your new domain?

    download everything in the FTP (or tgz them via ssh..), upload to the new site. dump the old mysql database, upload it on the new server.

    could always get a new webhost. ;-)

    find the config file in joomla where the database info is stored; you'll need to change the username.

    You can change your database deatils in configuration.php file and while importing database on new sever you have to remove few lines from starting. Its quite simple and you can do it yourself
