As far as search engine ranking it would be pretty much restarting from scratch as a new site, Google can't distinguish a relocated site from an unauthorized copy made by someone else.

A big help in maintaining continuity is to maintain control of the old domain name and redirect it to the new one, this might involve setting up an .htaccess file that has a redirect for each individual page, a 301 permanent redirect is honored by the search engines, backlinks would effectively be redirected to the new site as well.
