    WPTwin is what I use for cloning sites.

    I know that some folks use backup buddy too.

    Its eazy to do follow these steps and you should do it in 30mins.

    stick the new name on your server and install wordpress.

    upload the same theme your using on the on the new one.

    upload all the images from the old one.

    upload and replace the css files from the old one to the new one.

    exports all pages and posts and import them on the new one.

    301 redirect all the old page to the new pages.

    Simples!

    I am guessing you are using mysql. If you have phpmyadmin, you can export the database. Otherwise you can mysql dump the database in ssh and then use Winscp to download it from your server. That is to backup your mysql database and move it where ever you need to put it. However, if it is on the same server, you can just use the same connection details.

    Your hosting provider does not provide migration support?
