Change your account's domain in cPanel hosting

Changing the primary domain name on a hosting account lets you change the domain name associated with account's Web root directory.

There are a few things to keep in mind:

• If you already added the domain name you want to use as an Alias or Addon domain, you need to remove it first (Web & Classic / cPanel / Plesk).
• Remove any subdomains of your primary domain name before you can change it (Web & Classic / cPanel / Plesk).
• If you have an SSL certificate applied to your hosting account, you cannot change your primary hosted domain name without revoking your SSL. For more information, see Revoke a certificate.
• WordPress® installations can break when you change your primary domain. If they do, see the instructions on WordPress's site.
