Renaming a domain name

Let's say i would like to rename a domain of mine, not buying or anything else, just renaming, first of all is it possible, and second, will i loose my rankings?

 

Yes and Yes

 

By renaming your domain, I hope you mean buy another, you can't just re-name a domain like a file on your computer.

 

Yes exactly about that i was talking about: Rename it like a file, i have heard somewhere that it is possibile but i forgot where.

 

Did you read that on April 1st by any chance?

 

I don't get fooled that easly, i have read it 2-3 weeks ago on godaddy, just that i can't find where, there was a service of 6 $ for renaming. Just that i don't know if i will loose my rankings in this case, that's why i am asking.

 

I have never heard of such a thing.. Like mentioned above you can buy a new one but never heard of this renaming an existing one???

 

yeah 6$ is for buying another name and forwading old to new one

 

AHH, i think it sounds familiar, so then the answer to "will i loose rankings" it is yes.

 

well that's nothing like 'renaming a domain name is it'?.. oh dear... and the answer is yes...

 

Haha excellent

 

if you want to change your domain name you will need to htaccess redirect all your files on your old domain in order to keep your old links

 

You have a domain.
You buy a new domain.
You permanently redirect the old domain to the new one.

ANSWER: No you won't lose your rankings.

 

You can't rename a domain name, You will need to buy a new one.

 

First of all, its not possible to rename a domain name and if you buy another domain and use it in place of first, it will definitely lose its rankings.
