I have a problem.

I want to move my website from one hosting account to another account.

How to save my WordPress all plugins all posts and put everything to my new hosting account?

Is it really possible?

If its possible then please share your experience.

  Yes, when you do it the first time... it may look overwhelming.
  
  However, as soon as you start understanding the basics of how database-driven websites work, it will get easier.
  
  Using your favourite FTP client to connect to your server you will see there
  3 folders (wp-admin, wp-content, wp-includes) and
  many .php files...
  
  That basically, your WP engine + the "clothing" of your blog (=wp-content/themes/yourtheme) and the uploaded media
  
  All the content is in the MySQL database: posts, Pages, comments and settings.
  
  The wp-config.php file is connecting the WP engine with the database.
  
  ---------------------
  
  Knowing all the stuff from above, when you move you:
  - export the database with your content
  - download (ftp) the files: engine and themes and uploads
  - on the new host you upload all the files
  - create a new database+user
  - import the exported DB file into it
  - edit the wp-config.php file according to the new DB info
  
  That's it.
  
  Thanks
