Can't help you if I don't know what growing zone you are in. Where do you live?

Well, you haven't clarified, so I'll give you a generic answer.
Perennials must be transplanted at least 8 weeks before the ground freezes. They need time to establish their roots or the frost will just pop them out of the ground in winter.
If you don't have time to do that, dig them out, pot them, and put them in a cold place like a garage or cellar. Don't let them dry out completely. With luck they will winter over.

Yes hostas are pretty hardy. If it were me I would dig them up before the first freeze and put them in a pot or container until Spring. Or if your going to be moved before the first freeze go ahead and get them in ground this fall. If they are a decent size you can also divide before you plant them.

hostas plants are very hardy they can be moved most any time just make sure you cover the roots and keep them damp until you are ready to replant them
