Anna,
Your new hosting company can assist you in this move. In fact, I would
insist you find one that WILL do the move. This will determine early
on if the new hosting provider has good service.
For example, ASmallOrange.com (small plug) will go out of their way to
work with you to import your old site. If you are using cPanel on
your old site then the move should be easy when you set up your new
account.
Refund on your advanced dues. Now thats a different story. You will
have to read their Terms of Service to see if you can get anything
back.
Good luck, Rich
