    You can always redirect your site to the new domain, it's pretty easy to do.

    Easy, search Youtube for a video. There has to be one for that. Let me know if you can't find one.

    GoDaddy has one of the best support groups I've come across as a professional online marketer. I recommend calling them to walk you through how to do it. It's very simple and yes you could just redirect a new URL. However, there is a downside to doing this - your existing URL will be displayed to visitors and this can cause confusion. Also, from an SEO perspective your existing URL will be recognized not the new one and the files will contain existing URL.

    Just decide why you are changing the URL so you dont hurt yourself in the long run. You can check out my site, Seagate Web Solutions, any time for free blog marketing help.
