domain name change

[thepimster]

Hi All,

We are on vBulletin version 4.2.2 patchlevel 4 and have the following question:

We want to change our domain name and wonder if and how this is possible. as we have undoubtedly tens of thousands of internal links that won't work anymore after installing the software in a new hosting package and copying the database.

Is this a simple matter of "search and replace" in the database, or is it way more involved than that.

I am not very knowledgeable of vBulletin, but not afraid to try anything with guidance from you all.

So before I buy another hosting account and domain name, on a scale from 1-10, how difficult is it to accomplish to have the domain name changed and get the forum up and running again.

Thank you
