Does your old and new hosts use cPanel? If so your new host can do it for you quite easily.
If not, here are the steps you need to take
1.) copy all the files for your site and upload them to your new host
2.) export your database (if you have one) using a tool like phpmyadmin, and recreate it on the new host
3.) verify that everything is working, your host should have given you a temporary URL to use for this purpose. You may have to change some files if your database username/password changed, or if filepaths are now different. You'll see these errors come up when trying to view your site.
4.) once you're sure everything is working as it should, update the nameservers for your domain to point to your new host. You should now be live on your new host and can cancel your old account.
Hope this helps. If you encounter any problems along the way, just post here and we'll help you through it.
