Question as in title. I'd like to change my SVN hosting - can I move my project to another one and not lose the revision (change) history?

Yes, it is possible.

Your SVN hosting provider should be able to provide you with a repository dump so you could load it to another hosting or your in-house Subversion server. However you may need to contact hosting support to get the dump. BTW in a hosting control panel it can be referred as a repository backup.

The other solution would be to use svnrdump tool that can get repository dump remotely.

I advise you to consider reading SVNBook on this matter: Migrating Repository Data Elsewhere.
