Changing a Website Address

Your site points to an address and you want to use another address/domain. Here are the steps to follow:

In this example, the starting address will be [account].alwaysdata.net and the new address foobar.com.

1. Point your domain addresses on our servers:

   • if the domain does not exist, you need to buy it,
   • if the domain exists, you can:
     • add only the addresses needed for the website,
     • pass all the technical management to our DNS servers,
     • transfer the domain,

2. Add the new addresses to the site in Web > Sites - the old one is still there,

3. Change the address at the application level (in its admin panel for example),

4. Remove the old address in Web > Sites. This last point is not mandatory, if you don't do it the site will just remain accessible on the old address - as long as it points on our servers.
