    If you have cPanel at both end, you can request your host to transfer the account. cPanel transfer will copy all the data including emails and database. cPanel also supports transferring domain from other control panels too.

    And the other option is to download the contents via FTP and take database backup at your end and then restore it on new host server.

    If you contact the web host I would actually expect them to do it for you, I know we would do it free.

    though your webhost company offers free transfer of all files and databases you should back all your files and databases up for you never know what tomorrow may bring.

    You can also restore your MySQL database from PHPMyAdmin if the size of the database is not large. Just create a database and then go to PhpMyAdmin. Select the database and then Import it.
