Transferring domains in and out...

If I wanted to change my whole website to a completely different subject, could I transfer all the existing domains out and then transfer a new one in, would that work?

I want to go from a kidsguide to london to tree surgery, you see!

If I understand you right I don't think you need to do that.  You could register a new domain somewhere, with BT if you want and have it point to an area of your hosting.  For example I have several domains that all point to the same index.html file on my hosting (www.goldenumber.co.uk or beermattonline.co.uk) but they don't have to point to the same place.  I have another domain  www.zugzwang.co.uk and I am just now going to change it to point to www.beermattonline.co.uk/beermatts_trumpet_pages/  You will see that that is a completely different theme and that in the address bar you appear to be at www.zugzwang.co.uk but you are really not.

Do you mean, keep the same hosting package and just change the domain name on it?

Hiya orchie

 

Yes, is that possible?

You would still need to cancel the hosting package and order a new one on top of this.
