Change the domain in my Web Hosting (cPanel) account

Here's how to change the primary domain name on your Web Hosting (cPanel) account. After you make the change, allow up to 24 hours for your change to take effect.

Before you follow these steps:

• If you've already added the domain name you want to use as an Alias, Redirect, or Addon domain, you need to remove it first.
• Remove any subdomains of your primary domain name.
