The DNS domain should be the same no matter where it's hosted, so long 
as the configuration is the same as it used to be, it should work still. 
The only caveat would be that each subdomain would need to be added if 
they're not already and pointing at the web host address. It sounds like 
you're last provider did magick here which made it easy but hid how it 
actually works.


Your new hosting provider needs to know about the subdomains - I don't 
think the "folder -> subdomain" mapping is typical, you'll likely need 
to create separate hosts for each subdomain or figure some similar way 
to do this on the hosting provider's side (aliases, multiple names, or 
something like that).

domain and hosting were previously at the same Provider so a subdomain only had 
to be a folder with a index file and it was automatically resolved.

In this setup I inputted the path to the subdomain into my Hosting package 
management console... Domain Names Pointing to this package...and it was 
accepted so it seems to me that it should be able to resolve the address.   So 
is it going to be any different when the domain and hosting are in two 
different providers. I don't see how but I am just checking
