I contacted hosting and I can point the domain name to new ip address of the new hosting, now still something i don't understand is that actually on VPS settings I should enter the actual dns info of the first hosting right ?

Thank you

I buy my domain names at one place, and change the DNS there so that the domain name setting points to the nameserver of another place. At the other place, I simply create a subdomain with the http://www.whatever address of the domain name I've bought. That works. You just need the nameservers of the place where you are actually hosting the site.

But if it's something specific to the VPS hosts then they can tell you exactly what you need to do to configure your domain name so it's available on their systems.
