Can a private key be stored with more than one online wallet provider?  So if e.g. Online wallet provider No.1 stopped working, I could use the same Bitcoin through Online wallet provider No.2.

It depends on what you mean by "online wallet provider". You cannot transfer your private keys from Coinbase, for example, because you don't have any private keys.

If you control a private key, you can do whatever you want to do with it. That's what people mean by "control".

Yes. You can use your private key in as many wallets/services as you want at the same time.

Hi,

Thanks in advance.
