Move Domain Only - Procedure?

[jimsolt]

I am planning to move a domain name to my BlueHost account from another ISP -- ONLY the domain - all site material will be built from scratch. In sequence, what steps do I need to take?

When the new domain is functional, when I login will I have a different login than the one I am now using on another domain in my BlueHost account?

If so, when I login will I see a separate C-Panel for that domain? If so, I should be off and running . . . at least crawling .

Thanks in advance for help.

In fact several of your suggestions were very helpful.
I had asked for a sequence of actions.
The suggestions omitted any contact with BlueHost. I assume they don't host my second domain for nothing.
Where does this contact fit in?
Thanks

no they host multiple domains. Even though its called an "add-on" domain, for all intensive purposes it is jsut a regular domain.

He wants a domain transfer not an addon domain.

That page tells you want you need to do.

Right on. This is the info I need to get started. One thing lacking though is I'm not sure of who my "domain name registrar" is.

Is there a way to easily find this information?

Thanks again.

What is the domain?

Did you register it directly or was it registered through a hosting company?

I suspect I registered it through the current host PowWeb, but it has been a while and I'm not sure.

Thanks.

Yeah, powweb.com are they people you want to contact about transferring the domain, although the actual registrar is TUCOWS INC.

OK, I've contacted powweb and they are sending me a form to initiate the server change. Thanks.

ONE OTHER question, perhaps stupid, but nonetheless:

The domain name will be transferred with no accompanying material -- correct? In other words there will be no index page or anything?

If that is true, and after the web propogation period, what will I see if I send my browser to that url?

Thanks. You have been extremely helpful.
