While NatNet may not give you direct SSH access, or root access, they could probably do the following for you if you asked.
- mysql dump all databases to a common folder and tar them up for you.
- tar -cpf (from root) all site folders under your account that you want moved
- Shell sftp to your new VPS all of the tar files and database files
Once on your new server, use SSH root to untar all the tar files and then chown any files/folders to your new hosting account name. Import all databases from the command line (or migrate the databases to the new location of mysql databases on your vps) and then recreate user/permissions.
Of course, you will need to double check paths, like PHP, or to includes locations, etc. and adjust accordingly. Alternatively, you can create symlinks to compensate for the path differences, though it's always best to have accurate paths.
Beyond that it should be just a matter of changing DNS/name servers, if applicable.
