    If you control your name, you just need to point the dns servers where you have it registered to the new host account.

    For brilliant support and very reliable service, I do like ICDSoft best. There are cheaper. They are, um, cheaper.

    Question the support team of the web hosting service you intend to treansfer to. Their support team will send you a step by step guide.

    Some web hosts have made even this process simpler. For example when signing up for BH, they question you enter your existing domain name, then they conveying your domain automaticly on their web hosting servers.

    As an experienced webmaster I recommend BH web hosting which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really fantastic offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.

    Yeah, you can keep the domain name.

    Although, since you plot to cancel your hosting with your current hosting providers, there’s no need to leave your domain name with them.

    You can conveying that domain name, either to your next host or to a 3rd have fun domain name registrat (like Namecheap or Godaddy).

    Since most hosting companies offer a free domain name (either a groundbreaking new registration or a conveying) you can thrash that domain name to them.

    For hosting I recommend one of these http://www.webhostingtable.com

    Fatcow has the best offer right now.
    Their standard fee is $88/year
    but they have the 50% sale right now.

    Disk space: Unlimited
    Bandwidth: Unlimited
    A Free domain name
    Unlimited domains and subdomains

    Fee: $44/year

    They’re one of the oldest hosting companies, founded 1998, they’re also one of the largest, currently hosting about 500,000 websites.
    Their hosting plot includes a web builder, so you can make your site just by drag and drop (without any programming), or you may possibly install WordPress (simple, one click install from their control panel), point out a theme that you like, and start adding content.

    First check you have DNS control you need that to point to your new hosting some companies charge extra for DNS control others it free.

    all domain registrars and hosting companies have FAQ pages you should
    check them to find out how to change DNS

    For designing a website I recommend you use wordpress it’s free and it’s not just for blogs, there are thousands of free themes (templates) to point out from.

    I use two hosts both are excellent

    I often use http://hosting24.com for the hosting with a coupon you get $2off each month use
    coupon code: (SAVE-$2-EVERY-MONTH) or (SAVE-$24) they both work for monthly or yearly payments

    and http://1-2-5.com who are godaddy resellers
