Currently I am using 4000webs.com to host my sites (e-money.4000webs.com and speedypc.4000webs.com) But I need to change my webhost because 4000webs servers never work for FTP and their file manager doesnt either.

I am thinking of swapping to Award Space.com so how would I go about moving my domain name (and if it is possible is it a difficult process?)

Any help would be appreciated,
Sam.

Make sure you've backed up your sites, then go to the hoster you've chosen and register for an account, then you'll have to change nameservers in your domain account, delete the nameservers of the previous host and put the new ones. As for nthe content, if your sites aren't too big, you can upload the content from your computer, if the content is considerable, then ask your new host to do it for youy by contacting your previous host.
