Generally, your new web hosting provider would take care of it.
You would just need to choose one you'll be satisfied with and they would take it from there.
Your hosting must be online for the transfer to be possible at least your web panel.
 
Ask your new host company to migrate it for you. Most do it for free.
 
If you are on shared hosting or managed VPS hosting why not ask your new hosting provider ?
 
Actually its easier than most think

There is a plugin called Duplicator .. search for youtube video on how to use it

Basically, it gives you a single file which you will upload to ur new hosting and that is .. Simple steps but you at least you should know how to change ur name servers to redirect the domain name to the new address
 
just make an support ticket or live chat to your new hosting provider ,they will move your site with their own risk , and its free also
 
What kind of website is it? Is it just HTML/CSS pages or is it a script with a database?

Some hosting providers do offer this service, so if you are unsure then you should ask them to do it for you. But if you wish to do it yourself it's a pretty easy thing to do.

  • Download all the files from the public_html folder of your old host via FTP or something, then if you have a database go into the cPanel and phpmyadmin and export the SQL database.
  • Go onto your new host, create a database, database user, using the Database Wizard in cPanel, give your new user all privileges to the new database - Import your SQL in phpmyadmin.
  • Go into your config php which you downloaded, update the config with your new database info, then upload the files to new host.
  • Once your files are all up, and your database is ready to go - Make sure your domain is linked to your new hosting account (if it isn't, your host should have an option to change the primary domain, or you can add it as a addon domain), and then update your nameservers to your new ones your new host should have given you.
  • It should seamlessly update to your new server for your users over the next 24 hours, you can open CMD and type ipconfig /flushdns to flush your DNS cache and speed up the process for yourself.

** You can also make a minor change on your site so both hosts have something slightly different on them so you know when it updates just by loading the page. That's what I like to do anyway.
 
You need to give more details as @SL1DE says. If it is a wordpress site for example, the very best plugin that is also free to migrate your site is: All in one WP Migrantion. It is very easy to use, just follow the youtube video on the plugin page. If it is a static site just ftp into the root directory, download all the files of your website to your local machine and upload these, again by ftp to your new hosts server.
There is one more step you need to undertake to move hosts, that is to change the NS records of your site to point to the new hosting server. This would be done in your domain registrar panel/portal. Depending on who that is, there should be a section on there that takes care of your NS changes etc. You aslo need the NS records from your new host. If you are not a techie, you will not be able to do this yourself because different hosts and different domain registrars have different ways of doing things. I wish you good luck.
 
Have a look at services from KVChosting.net and HostSailor.com.
Support are perfect. Services also.They do their work very well for you and you'll be pleased with their unmatched services.
 
have you located a new web host yet? If so ask them to move it. If you are on cpanel then you should not have any issues at all.
 
I use VPSrobots to migrate my website from one server to another without any backup and any help of web hosting providers. Additionally, you ought to back up your website anyway. Also, keep the original website active for one week at least. In case, anything goes wrong during website migration, the original website is still accessible.
 
Ask to your new provider to transfer the site. If they don't allow to transfer free of cost you can knock me hope I will be to help you to transfer your site.
