Changing Your Main Domain
The main domain is the primary domain associated with your hosting account. While it is set during the purchase of your hosting account, it can be changed later. You might need to change your main domain if:
The current main domain has expired.
You wish to transfer it to another hosting account.
You want to attach your hosting package to a different domain name.
Make sure to choose a domain that aligns with your business identity for better branding!
Important Points to Consider
Before changing your main domain, please keep the following points in mind:
Domain Registration: The domain name you want to host must be registered.
Trademark Check: Ensure the domain name is not a trademark.
Existing Hosting: The domain must not currently be hosted on our servers or added as an addon domain to your hosting account. If it has been added, please delete it first.
Failing to follow these guidelines may lead to complications during the domain change process.
Additional Steps
Manual Updates: All references to:
URL databases
Contacts and mailing lists
SSL certificates
Softaculous app installations
Associated backups
will not be automatically updated. You must manually update these references to reflect the new domain.
Always back up your data before making significant changes to your hosting setup!
Reseller Hosting: If you have a reseller hosting plan, private nameservers for the current domain will not transfer to the new one. You will need to register new private nameservers and repoint your resold domain names.
WHMCS/Upmind: If you have WHMCS or Upmind installed for the current domain, a license reissue will be required after the domain name change.
