    Hi, does anyoen using Bluehost know if they charge you to change your primary domain?

    Hostgator charges $5 each time you change primary domain name. Not a fan of this trick to make an easy $5 and thinking of moving to a new host.

    Why change the primary domain name?

    You can just add a new domain using addons domain.

    Yes i know i can do that and i already have some addon domains but i am getting rid of my primary domain and want to use my favourite (flag ship) domain as my new primary domain.

    I could simply change this when i had fatcow but Hostgator want $5 for something that should be easy to add to the control panel to do myself! Ready to change host even though it might seem a 'small matter' to some but i hate been ripped off when it is absolutely unnessarily.

    Changing the primary domain name on cpanel servers I believe can only be done through an admin, maybe that's why hostgator charges $5.00

    yes we can add domain but it auto creates a sub-domain of our primary domain...

    do you have any idea of it... that how we can add new domain without making a sub-domain of primary domain.

    for example my primary domain is yatrabooking.in then I have added flightticketbooking.in with addon domain function

    and it auto creates flightticketbooking.yatrabooking.in

    why.... Please help

    I am using baby plan of host gator that have unlimited domain hosting value.

    Thanks in advance if anyone can help
