b)    If the registered domain is hosted with A or elsewhere then cancel the hosting account first! (NOTE: Don't cancel the domain, just remove the hosting from account if it is not required)
c)    Setup the Hosting Account in the Service Provider B
d)    Get the nameservers and IP address from the Service Provider B.
