Here are a couple of things to keep in mind to make your web host transfer a little easier.

First, check whether your old host will transfer your domain for you. If so, they will give you instructions on what to do. If you have to transfer the domain yourself, you will want to get that process started immediately. This can be accomplished through your Domain Name Registry.

After you secure a web host, you will need to upload your files to the new server. (Note: DO NOT DELETE THE FILES FROM YOUR OLD SERVER YET.)

There are a couple of factors that can make the transfer of files easier or more difficult, such as the size of your Web site and your directory structure.
