It depends on what CP you are using if you do it the other way but if your signing up to a hosting you can do so with your domain name, all you need to do then is go to your old host and change the DNS to your new hosts DNS, that way you have ready set up your domain.
On your new host (the site is accessible by the dedicated ip, though the folder when created may have the domain name, it will not direct to the site when you put the domain name into the browser).
To make this work get your new hosts DNS servers (normally two of them e.g. NS1.yourhost.com), go to your old host, normally there should be an option for domain name options go in there and change. (sometimes the domain is locked so you need to unlock, transfer by changing information then lock again).
Sorry if that is not perfectly clear, i am tired lol, any questions ask away.
