No, it doesn't - but thanks for trying to help.

I already have a domain (actually, quite a few of them :-)
I want to migrate some of them to OnRev, but like Sarah I want to test 
them properly before I risk changing nameservers, in case I am breaking 
something, and would have the site be down for a day or two before I can 
change them back again.

So the process Sarah described, namely

So the question was quite precise ....  how do you "change a sub-domain 
to an AddOn domain" ?

There is no mention in the docs (afaics) of changing sub-domain to addon 
domain.

Thanks
