Hi,

if you have shell access to your server you can simply do a dump of the 
db (mysqldump is your friend), create a compressed file with all the 
files of your site (including the dump), move this file to the news 
server, unpack it, recreate the db from the dump et voilà you are 
done... (if you use the same user/password to access mysql on the news 
sverver, otherwise you have to change username & password in 
typo3conf/localconf.php)

if you are using an hosting service without shell access things are a 
bit more complicated but the underlying logic is the same: grab the db, 
grab the files, transfer to the new server & recreate the db.
