Change my domain name

You can change the domain name associated with your Website Builder account. You cannot change the domain name for a free Website Builder account.

Note: You cannot directly change a domain that has a SSL certificate. Instead, the SSL certificate will need to be rekeyed.

1. Log in to your HostingDude.com account.
2. In your Products list click Website Builder, and then click Manage next to the account you want to use.
3. From the Settings tab, click Domain Settings.
   

   Note: If you see the Publish button in the upper right, click the three-bar icon next to it and select Exit Designer to get back to where you can see the Settings tab.

4. Select one of the following options:
   
   • Select a domain of mine if you want to use a domain registered in this account.
   • Type a domain registered elsewhere if you want to use a domain name not registered in this account.
   • Create a subdomain if you want to use a subdomain of a domain name in your account, e.g. subdomain.coolexample.com.

   Note: If you chose Type a domain registered elsewhere, you'll also need to contact the company acting as the registrar for that "external" (non-HostingDude.com) domain.

5. Click OK.
6. Click Edit Site.
7. Click Publish.
