Anytime you are considering changing web hosting services you should download a copy of all your current files and folders from the existing web server to your local computer. Once you have done that you can upload them to your new host in the future.
Changing web hosts is as simple as going to your domain name registrar and modifying your DNS settings for your domain name to point at your new web hosting service. Then uploading your files to the new host and waiting for the domain name to re-propagate which can take up to 72 hours but .com domain names should be completely propagated in under 24 hours.
As far as your starter page I think you are probably talking about your index page. Your index page is the page that shows up when you go to a domain name directly. The index page will usually have an .htm, .html, .php extension on it. Replacing it will replace that first page you see. To modify it you will most likely want to do that in a WYSIWYG editor.
