If your site is already live
-
Buy the new domain name. (you need to own a domain before you ask us to change it, here are some suggestions)
- Go into your domain registrar and point the nameservers of the new domain name to our nameservers. Now both of your domains will be pointing to our nameservers.
-
Submit a ticket to support requesting the domain change. Be sure to include the domain you are changing to.
-
Once the change has been made on our end, go your registrar's control panel and set up a 301 permanent redirect from your old domain to your new domain after the new domain is live. If you need help with this, you may ask your domain registrar for assistance.
301 permanent redirect
You can find details about our nameservers and instructions on how to change them in this resource.
It is crucial to set up a 301 permanent redirect from your old domain to your new domain; otherwise, you risk losing traffic from visitors who still try to access your old domain.
