Yes you can move a a Host Name Site Collection (HNSC) from one web application to another via Backup-SPSite and Restore-SPSite as the following:

  • Take a backup of your site collection via PowerShell Backup-SPSite -Identity <SiteCollectionGUIDorURL> -Path <BackupFile>
  • Crate a new web application,
  • Restore your site collection to the new web application. Restore-SPSite -Identity <SiteCollectionGUIDorURL> -Path <BackupFile>
  • Remove site collection from old web application based on your requirements.Remove-SPSite -Identity < Old SiteCollectionGUIDorURL> -Confirm:$false
  • Delete backup file.Remove-Item "<BackupFile>"
