how do I switch domain names?
 

I just bought a new domain name that's more specific to the topic of my site, my question is how do I switch the domains?

I'm assuming I should keep the old domain as well so people who try to go to the old name will be redirected.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

um... update your members area and contact your host for a domain name change :)

also in the config.php theres an email addy thing in there that may need changing to the new domain name.

also change Help Site Name / URL / Contact Details
in admincp

do all this after the domain name change.

see if your web host will allow you to add a pointer. use your old addy as the pointer.

i think that the web host may have to change their settings so enquire with them also.

there may be other things... but ive only bin using VB for 2 weeks now!
