hi guys, i have a question regarding domain names and how they are set on web servers. i have a domain name at the moment which is shackproductionsaustralia.com.au and i have been looking to get it changed. i have admin privleges on the server and can access most funtions and fields. what i need to know is how i would go about changing the domain name. i know i have to register it and purchase it before i can use it, but once that is done, how do i go about adding it to the server?? can i just replaceme my current domain with the new one?? or does it require a decent amount of web server admin knowledge?? also, not sure if i posted this in the right section so appologies if i didnt. any help any one could gie would be greatly appreciated. many thanks,
If you use cPanel you can simply go to "Addon Domain" and add the new ordered domain. Id you want to change shackproductionsaustralia.com with another domain name and have WHM login for your server you can go to "Account Functions" tab -> Modify an Account -> Select the domain/account that you want to change click "Modify" and replace the old domain name with the new one. If on your account you are able to have only one single domain and don`t have WHM access you can contact the provider to change the domain for you. Reply back if i understood wrong what you need.
hi cpt, thanks for your reply to be honest, im not sure i understand 100% of what you said, but i believe i got the jist of it. im not very good when it comes to web and server stuff lol. i did check out what you were saying and i was able to get into a modify menu but unfortunatly there was no option to change the domain name itself. i think i may have to contact the owner and get him to do it. i was just trying to avoid gettin him involved as it would be easier if i could do it myself. thank you very much for your help
I meant do you use Shared hosting? Like when you ordered the hosting was it called VPS ? How much you pay monthly for ?
