You can do it or you can ask support to do it for you, and it's free.

If you have cPanel or Plesk as your old control panel, support can transfer your website for free

The problem is that i dont have cpanel or Plesk , my forum is in a very bad freehosting called altervista (i hate this company) this company has too much limitations and has banned IP's , so some users can't connect to the forum
And the biggest problem is that its in Italian Language and i cant contact support!!

Do you have backup of all your files and databases ? Also let me know the file size and the database size.

As you are using some custom control panel with your current host you will have to take backup of your databases manually and will have to restore it on your new hosting account.
