If you registered a domain newly, you may not be able to transfer it until after some months have elapsed; depending on the host (eg godaddy allows 60days - I think this is ICANN wait period).

However, this does not stop you from changing host: All you need to do is to change your domain DNS record (or have your registrar/Host do that for you) to point to the IP address of your (newly chosen) Host Server.

Of course you can change your web host even if it is the same web host that you registgered your domain name with.
There are three things:
1. Your client account which you log in to using your email address and password you used to sign up.
2. My Domains: the section of your client portal where the domain details of you registered domain name reside. This is where you will change your web host details. In this place, just click on the icon with the screen tip "view details" to see the listed nameservers (ns1.yourwebhost.com, ns2.yourwebhost.com or as otherwise stated). All you simply do is change the nameservers to those provided by your new web host. For example, if you buy a web hosting package from let's say www.hostlandafrica.com (the name of my firm's web hosting enterprise), after signing up, you will need to change the nameservers to ns1.hostlandafrica.com and ns2.hostlandafrica.com and that's it!
In case you need my assistance further, send a mail to info[at]qestinfosystems.com OR why not try out www.hostlandafrica.com for a change. You will get a personalised treatment. Be assured.

Feyi, I'm sure you know the answer to what you asked because I know you personally.

Anyway for readers, you cannot have your domain with two hosts at the same time, but you can change nameservers any time.
