But transferring the actual content doesn't throw me. Because of Purehost's backward set up we have no mySQL databases to switch over and I hear that is the stumbling block for most.

So, read the rest of this comment with this in mind: I may or may not know what I'm talking about. I've read where some hosts will transfer your site for you. I've only read that under the condition that both the old host and the new host use C-Panel, but I have no idea why. $200/year is a LOT of money. At least it would be for my blog, but my blog doesn't get much traffic. I just recently moved my blog the hard way (my old host was TypePad [no C-Panel]), and I got a lot of help just by asking questions at TBE. Good luck, whatver you decide to do!
