izzyboi:The only thing you can do is to buy a new domain with your new domain choice. Then you will now point to or redirect it to your WebHost having your blog 3 Likes |

izzyboi:Yes very easy. As long as you're using a very reliable hosting company.. I changed mine last year and it didn't take long at all |

izzyboi:You will point to your web hosting using DNS records such as IP address, name servers, or A records...et.c most especially it is better to use name servers such as ns1.webhosting.com and ns2.webhosting.com this can be done in your domain panel. Then go to you hosting cpanel to add the domain as addon pointing to the folder where your blog files are. |

polimaf: I'll see if I can buy the domain with them and let's hope they are reliable. Thank you. |

chinavs9ja: Thanks a lot but what if the web host plan supports only one domain 1. Is it safe to remove the existing domain from addon domains and add another one without loss of content and files. 2. Or can I still use an addon with it After adding the new domain, how do I redirect the old one to it? Thank you |

please webmasters, can you shed more light on this |
Re: How Do I Change My Website's Domain Name by izzyboi(m): 1:16pm On Sep 30, 2019 |
My question now is will replacing the old domain with the new one in add-on domain (but still using the old domain root) work perfectly? |
