you should contact support and let them know you are moving. If you are transferring a domain they will ask you for some codes and for hosting if you have a backup moving should not take that long.

Moving your site is something similar – only a virtual version. You shop for a new location, sign the paperwork to rent hosting space (in the account type of your choice – shared server, dedicated server, VPS, etc.), package up your site to ensure that all of your assets come with you, transfer everything to your new web host, and then point your domain to your new host by changing the DNS record; this final step is in essence hanging the sign over your new shop door.

First thing to do is to research the right Hosting Company you want to move to. After that you should contact them and tell them that you want to migrate your service that is based on a shared server, dedicated server, VPS, etc. like johnroyal said. Most of the companies will do this for free but it depends on your configuration and what do you want to move in order to establish the costs.

Most of hosting providers offer you that they will migrate at least 1 site for free. Rest you need just take backup of your files and database on your machine and then when you have created your server upload their. Change database password and all the things done.

You just need to contact the hosting company to which you would like to migrate to and they will be more than happy to advice you with this. They might even migrate your account for free of cost.

If you run a website—whether it’s a small, personal site dedicated to a hobby or interest, or a larger site that you use to promote your work or sell a product—there may come a time when you want to move it. Your site may have outgrown your current hosting plan, you may be disappointed in the service or support of your hosting provider, or you may simply want to change because you’ve found a better price.

The first step is to join your new host. Make sure to NOT cancel with your old hosting provider, and do not tell them you will be canceling. Keep this a secret from your old host, or they could prematurely terminate your site and cause downtime.

The first step is to join your new host. Make sure to NOT cancel with your old hosting provider, and do not tell them you will be canceling. Keep this a secret from your old host, or they could prematurely terminate your site and cause downtime.
At this point, you should have hosting accounts with two hosting providers (the old and the new one). You will now migrate your entire site from the old host to the new one. This can be done by connecting to the old host's FTP and downloading all your files, and then by connecting to the new host's FTP and uploading all your files (maintain the same file and folder structure). If you choose to make HostGator your new host, we may transfer your entire site over free of charge!
You must also backup any databases on the old host (contact the old host for instructions) and upload the backup files to the new host via FTP. You must then restore your databases from those backup files; this can be done via SSH or cPanel's phpMyAdmin. Emails do not normally transfer, but you can archive your emails from the old host. You can accomplish this by making a POP3 connection to each email address; this way all the old emails are downloaded to your local computer. The new host will not have those old emails, but the new host will be able to get new emails.
If you choose to make HostGator your new host, we may transfer your entire site (files and databases) over free of charge! If your old host used cPanel, we may be able to transfer emails as well.
After you have a copy of your site on both hosting accounts, it is time to change your domain name's DNS....
After you have all your files on both hosting accounts, it is time to change your domain name's DNS. Your new host will provide you with the correct name servers (DNS). You may need to contact the new host to find out what DNS settings you will use for your domain name.

DNS name servers usually looks like this (replace "yourhostname.com" with your host's actual domain name):
ns1.yourhostname.com
ns2.yourhostname.com

Once you have the correct DNS, go to the company where you purchased your domain name to make the change. If you purchased your domain name from your host, you usually need to ask them to make the DNS changes for you. You can tell them something similar to, "Hello. My domain with you is _____.___ ; please, change my domain name's name servers to ns1._______.____ and ns2._______.____ ."

If you bought your domain name from HostGator, we are more than happy to help you or even make the DNS changes for you.
Once your DNS changes have been made, you will need to wait 48 hours (two days) before your site will load from the new host. During this 48 hour period, your DNS is propagating world wide and your site will be randomly loading from either the old host or the new host. Once the two days is complete, your site will only be loading from the new host.
After the 48 hours have passed, your updated DNS will be fully functional. You will now contact your old host and cancel your hosting account with them. If you originally bought your domain name from the old host, do not cancel your domain registration.

If you run a website—whether it’s a small, personal site dedicated to a hobby or interest, or a larger site that you use to promote your work or sell a product—there may come a time when you want to move it. Your site may have outgrown your current hosting plan, you may be disappointed in the service or support of your hosting provider, or you may simply want to change because you’ve found a better price.

My website, Kirkville, recently started outgrowing its hosting plan. With traffic reaching around 250,000 page views a month, I hit the limit of what my provider could support with standard, shared hosting. All it would take was one article that got a lot of traction, and the site could be overloaded. In addition, my previous host had a server problem back in February, which kept my site offline for about 36 hours, and I was unhappy with their support. So, I decided it was time to move.

Two years ago, I moved from France to the United Kingdom. I had to find a new place to live, manage having my possessions moved, and deal with administrative stuff, like taxes and utilities. In some ways, moving a website is similar. There are many things you need to do—there’s much more involved than simply moving files—to make sure that everything goes smoothly.

The way you move your website will depend on how you manage three things: Your domain name, your email, and the site itself. Here’s how I moved my own website, and a couple of alternative setups you could try that are slightly different from mine.

Once your reinforcement is finished your old host will send you an email telling you that it has been finished. Doing a Cpanel Backup/Restore Copies Data, Database, and Email Filters. Most effortless approach to move a site.

how to move hosting? from one hosting company to another

If you want to move hosting, then make sure the host you are about to choose is capable enough in delivering you top quality and affordable hosting services. Do not let your existing host know that you are planning to move the host because in that case it can be problematic for you.

Required Information

Your FTP username and password for your web site.
Your Administrative Control panel username and password (not always applicable).
Note: If you do not have this information, you can contact your current hosting company and request it.

Step 1. Transferring files from your host to your local machine.

Using a basic FTP program or a web browser, download all your current files including graphics, html files, etc. making sure to keep the exact directory structure as it was on your current web server.

Step 2. Transferring a database from your hosting company.

On successful login to the administrative control panel, export all databases to your local machine, make a note of what type of database your information was stored in. This can be different depending on the type of database setup that is running on the hosting company; some companies provide multiple database solutions and others just one.

Note: Database examples - SQL | MySql | Access (amongst others)

Step 3. Your new hosting company.

Upload up all of your site files to your new host using temporary login information, most hosting companies can provide you this information prior to your domain name resolving to the new account. I would setup all your email accounts as well, keep in mind that they won’t have resolved yet but it’s one less step you'll have to worry about later.

Step 4. The Domain Transfer Begins (domain name record change)

Through whatever registrar you used to have your domain registered, request a name change. The only thing that really needs to be changed in your record is the name server information. If you do not have this information, just email your new hosting company support and ask what their Name Server information is.

Step 5. The waiting process begins!

You should get confirmation emails confirming the change to the domain. This begins the waiting process! It will usually take between 24 - 48 hours for all the Domain Name Servers around the world to get the updated information that your domain has a new location. Once this waiting period is complete, you can then contact your previous hosting company and cancel your hosting contract or service.

Get in touch with your provider and give them all of your details - they should do the rest as a part of their service.

Good luck !

The most convenient way to transfer your website's files to your new web hosting account is through FTP. You can connect to your other hosting account and download the files locally. Then you should upload them to your hosting account's main folder (usually public_html, www or httpdocs).
