should I create a new database and import the old one to the new & edit the info in wp-config.php ??
because that's what I did. and it didn't work :/

Hello, @midox139 Yes if you create a new DB you must edit the wp-config.php, in case you changed also the domain name, Go to phpmyadmin and change the URL on wp-option two times.

I did all this. but when I've changed the DNS servers to my new host, I find that I've been hacked !!!!!!

I don't know if they hacked my host or my domain ... I don't understand nothing. note that I've bought a host in AlphaRacks

Hey, @midox139 You were hacked ! how come? is it a shared hosting? damn by the way AlphaRacks is crape.
All I can say is that there is two way to hack someone on shared hosting, one of them is the symlink.
Verify your logs, to identify from where the intruder is coming from.
