I have a VPS server (Xen based) purchased from one provider, now I want to move the server to another (kvm based)

What are the best way to do so? I really don't want to re-install the whole system, do the configurations again..

While I can afford the downtime, what are the safest way for lazy people?

Reinstall your apps and move the data.

Even if both VPS providers are willing to work together to help you on this, convert a Xen VM to run on a KVM host is so much trouble that it's not worth it.
