As long as the cloud instance is running cPanel the move should be straightforward enough. Create a full backup of the shared account (backup wizard within cPanel) and restore using the restore functionality included in WHM. Keep in mind that a cloud server is essentially a vps with some additional HA functionality thrown in (hopefully), and will generally be more expensive than a typical VPS.
If you want to avoid cPanel licensing fees, you could opt with a free panel like Virtualmin. However, this will require a manual migration.WHMEasyBackup.com - Take Control Of Your Backups!

It sounds like you're looking to stay with GoDaddy - if so, I would urge you to ask THEM these questions rather than us. They better know how to transfer things between their different infrastructures.

Actually the fact is not like that you if move to cloud from shared you site won't be offline or slowdown. The issue is with your allocated resources. Their economy plan resources (allocated cpu core, ram) might not able to take load of 200 online users. So you need more resources. If you move to cloud and resources are same you won't be benefited.

Yes, WHT can guide you but your actual help comes from your host, not WHT. They are the ones with access to your server.
You should consider this, too:
you need more resources. If you move to cloud and resources are same you won't be benefited.█||||[ MechanicWeb.com - Shared Hosting | Reseller Hosting | KVM VPS | Dedicated Server ]

Since you are moving between various plans within the same provider, it is the responsibility of the provider to help you with this. However if you are planning to do it yourself, there are two ways to get it done.
1) If you have cpanel at your cloud instance, take a full backup from shared and restore it there via WHM
2) If you do not have cpanel, then you will need to upload the files and databases separately, import the database, create email accounts and then configure everything manually.
Basically, I would not prefer to continue with a provider who do not care to help me at all. Not sure what makes you stick there, however there are a lot of shared hosting providers itself who might be happy to help you with the migration. May be you can take a look at the offers section for the various offers.█ Hope Web Host, Fully Managed cPanel Hosting ||

I suppose that the fastest way is to ask your hosts support to do that, nowadays almost any hosts tech staff are offering free migration

Godaddy has both ticket support (via Pro) and phone support.
There's nothing special about "cloud". It's just a standard shared/VPS/dedi account with slightly different hardware configurations. You have the same resource limits with a cloud as you do with traditional hosting.
LiquidWeb is another good option.|| Need a good host?
