    Hi everyone, I really need your help, I'm about to sell my primary domain name. Let's suppose that my domain name is domain.net well I have an unlimited hosting pack with my hosting service provider , this means that I can host all the domain I want to the same account.

    The thing is that I'm going to sell now my primary domain name, so I was wondering how to change it for a new one in cpanel? thanks! ;)

    Do not change the primary domain name. This is a long time bug which the system will break if the changes is unsuccessful.

    Just leave it alone if it does not bother you much

    Only your host can do that.
    Plus you will have to reconfigure your other domains, if they are using the nameservers of this primary domain you are selling

    contact your host to do it for you, some might charge for it but others would do it for free depending upon the host.

    I asked my host once and they said it wasn't possible.

    It's possible to do for your host...
    Just have to change the domain in WHM ... this is the easy part.

    !!! But... all the add-on domains have first to be removed in "Main>> DNS Functions >> Delete a DNS Zone" in the hosting WHM and re-setup in the clients Cpanel, if those add-on domains should appear again as add-ons with a subdomain from the clients main domain...

    if there are a lot of add-on domains this can be a huge job to do for the hosting support...

    If carefully done no content of the website(s) is lost ...

    I've done it a few times for my clients ... for free :)
