    You are the registered owner of that domain, just like any other domain, so you can do whatever you like with it. However, if it's the primary domain on your account, you'll need to contact BH to have some other domain substituted as your primary, since the account is linked to the primary domain.

    You should contact BH about getting the authinfo. The Domain Manager functions on cPanel are all geared towards either transferring a domain registration to BH - there don't seem to be any functions for transferring ownership of a domain to someone else, or for changing the registrar away from BH.

    Because the transfer has to be initiated from the winning registrar . The winning registrar then contacts the losing registrar and tells them to release the domain name, verifies EPP code. Then losing registrar releases domain.

    Since you can have any domain you already own as the free domain in the first place why would anyone want to sell the free one (unless it is several years later and they are restructuring what domains they have and don't need that one any more).

    The important thing to do is to get your account changed so that one of the other domains is the main domain prior to your selling what was the main one.
