New hosting company and transfer help

[Messiah Khan]

It seems my webhosting (Easyspace) is about to expire and im considering changing my package. At the moment im paying £35 a year for the Easyspace Gold NT Yearly which I think is 500Mb space, 10 email addresses 10Gb per month bandwidth etc etc. After a slight hickup the service hasn't been too bad. However I now could do with a hosting package with mysql support. Can anyone suggest a good, cheap (About the same as im paying now) and reliable service?

Also once I have chosen a hosting company, how do you go about migrating? Do you set up the new account, copy the site across then ask for the DNS settings to be switched? What happens with emails? At the moment I have 1 email account set up that then forwards the emails to my msn account. Will this automotically be sorted once the DNS is switched?

Edit; Oh and what happens with the domain name? It was registered through Easyspace.

After doing some reading about, I went with a VDS from Register1 at £50 per year (But you get 1 year free so it works out at £33 per year.)
