That depends upon the host. Have you asked them about it?

hang on ill just head over to the bathroom and look in the mirror. One should at least talk face to face with his hosting provider don’t you think? ^_^

Am i correct in saying that moving wordpress to a new web server of the same type eg linux centos, and apache, would not require any URL changes?
If the DNS name is the same then yes it should be.

Thats exactly what i was thinking in asking this question.
Obviously permalinks will come into the equation if they are customized prior to moving, however, if the URL is set to localhost…i reckon no change is required.
Therefore, if the above is reasonably close to the truth, then a simple copy of wordpress directory, and database on original server and paste into new server should suffice.
I know that there may be permissions, iptables, useraccounts and or scripting issues to sort out (if any of these have been customized and are not standard as per the original installs for wordpress, centos, mysql etc…but essentially, if coming from a test server (eg your own static ip address Centos, fedora, ubuntu LAMP) i would have thought there would be no need to play around with permalinks and security plugins, scripting etc prior to uploading to the production server.
Surely these are fully configured at the production level? (one would at least need to have a good idea of desired configuration settings of course)
