Changing domain names

kell · July 22nd, 2004, 10:34 PM

Just curiosity: if I were to put in a request to change the domain name I have on a hosting package here with Surpass, would all the files I have under (for example) olddomain.com still be available under newdomain.com? Or would I start with a clean slate?

Thanks, guys.

I hope so.

Thank you.

If you're trying to just change the domain name - IE your site is "fredsmessydesk.com" TODAY, and you want to change it to "FREDS-CLEAN-DESK.ORG" tomorrow, nothing happens to your files. They simply point the new domain.

Or you can do a PARKING where both domains will point to the same content.
