    Where u moving to? it will be a matter of logging into your old site and copying over all the files and folders, then registering your domain name for your new IP address.

    Download the entire site including the DB if any to your local computer.
    make sure you have everything.

    Setup the new account over with the new hosting company.
    They should be able to give you a temporary url to access your website.
    Upload all files and make sure everything is OK, then change the DNS to reflect the new IP address.

    If you downloaded all files via Filezilla from your old server then use the same application to connect to your FTP account on Blacknight and upload the files into the public_html folder. If you dont know your FTP details for Blacknight - check your welcome email from them or contact their support team.

    Once this is done you can then update your domain name to point to Blacknights name servers. I assume your domain name is already assigned to Blacknight under your account?

    If your not familar with Filezilla let me know and ill give you the link to a tutorial I created (I just need to update it to remove some private info as it was for a client who wanted to use it and not a CMS).

    If your going ahead with a redesign - you could get the designers to do it for you :)
