Changing Domains

Well, my site is www.d24cheap.trap17.com and I was going to buy a domain so that it doesn't have trap17 in it. I know that we can change domain name for 15 hosting credits but if I do that what happens to new site? I want all the stuff on my current site to be moved onto new site.

Domain name is independent from your hosting. When you change your domain, all your files under your hosting are still intact. Few things you might have to change is your URL's within your page that calls for the old domain name.

When you buy a domain name, this is completely separate from your hosting (often with an entirely different company). When you buy the address, you 'point' it to Trap17, so it knows where to look for the web site. Then, you tell your hosting account to handle any requests Trap17 receives for the domain by 'parking' it at your account. Your old Trap17 subdomain will still work, but the new domain can also be used.

Your hosting account remains completely intact and untouched by the change - all your files stay where they are, your cPanel information is the same... There is also no need to go through the "change of domain name" and use 15 credits. I never went through that, and happily use another domain on my hosting account.

If you need any help setting it up, feel free to ask, or PM or email me if you need more advice.

Parked/addon Domains Question- - Mostly directed towards Admins- (5)

Ok, no biggie- So go ahead and change my domain name from thablkpanda.trap17.com, to

About Domains - I just cant figure it out. (9)

Hello all, I just cant figure out how to make domains work. I have gamerspub.uni.cc and I said to
redirect to ns1.trap17.com and then I went into my cpanel and made a parcked domain with that name.
But now it just comes up with a little box in the center that says 'gamerspub.uni.cc' so how
do you do it because I am completley lost it seems. If an admin could do it for me that would be
awsome too. Thank You! /biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle'
