Moving wordpress blog to new hosting and new domain ?

Hi,

I have a blog running on wordpress. This is on my hosting and domain and not on wordpress server. I have a directory named blog where the blog resides.
Now i want to move this blog to a new hosting and a new domain. I will not be accesing the old domain once the blog is moved.
I was wondering if anyone has done this before in some easy to understand steps, it would be great and helpful. I am so very confused looking at the instructions on wordpress site.

I will appreciate a step by step method if anyone is an expert with experience in doing this.

Thanks so much...

all your help is highly appreciated.

I'm reading your question as you didn't develop the site on localhost, but on a different hosting server.

These are good instructions that include forwarding your old to domain to your new one.
