Can I change my domain name?
No, domain names cannot be changed once they are registered. Each domain name is a unique identifier on the internet, and once it's created, it becomes a permanent record in the global domain name system (DNS). For this reason, it is not possible to rename or alter an existing domain name.
What are my options if I want a different domain name?
If you wish to use a different domain name, you will need to:
-
Register a new domain name: Search for and register the desired name, provided it is available.
-
Update your website and services: After registration, you can migrate your website, email, and other services to the new domain.
-
Set up redirection (optional): If you want to redirect traffic from your old domain to the new one, you can configure domain forwarding or redirection via your hosting or DNS settings.
-
Let the old domain expire: If you no longer intend to use the original domain name, simply allow it to expire at the end of its registration period.
Important Note: Be cautious before letting a domain expire—especially if it has traffic, SEO value, or brand recognition—as expired domains can be picked up by others and misused.
