Just make a full file and SQL dump ( not forgetting the uploads! ), create DB on new server/host, upload/import all stuff, edit your config file AND the url & home settings in your options table. ( Otherwhise it will redirect if you have a new/other domain/subdomain name ! )

Tataa… thats it !

I made the same exact migration as you, from BlueHost to HostGator. But I must have lucked out, because transferring the whole she-bang was fairly trouble-free.
