If you happened to have multiple websites hosted by FatCow and you felt like your websites are not efficiently managed because of its number then you can always create a new account with FatCow. FatCow wouldn’t mind if two or three webhosting accounts are owned by the same person as long as that person registers a specific email for each webhosting account. Since it’s allowed to transfer sites from one hosting provider to another, then it is even more possible to transfer sites from FatCow to FatCow.
But of course, you should transfer your site to your another FatCow account and not to someone else’s FatCow account for it is like robbing that person some privacy to manage her webhosting account if you’ll have access to her account. Plus, that person didn’t subscribe for a webhosting plan in FatCow just to host the websites of yours even if you’re a friend.

Asking the administration of FatCow to allow you to transfer your site to their care is most likely not needed for the site itself was previously hosted by the same hosting provider or the FatCow only of a different webhosting account. The transfer of sites to another hosting provider is usually cause by dissatisfaction on the service provided or plan subscribed to by the user. But in cases of transferring a site to another webhosting account but of the same hosting provider is probably just to give the hosting provider a greater capacity to host the sites since the domains are registered to separate webhosting accounts. One simple advantage of transferring sites to same hosting provider is already being informed on how it provides its service.
