Renaming a Domain?

Solved Renaming a Domain?

Post by Beorn January 20th 2011, 4:56 am

Is it possible to rename a domain and give it to another Forumotion website? I am considering the possibility of restarting on a new forum, but that would definitely mean a new domain name--but I already have one. I just want to change the name.

You can't give it to another Forumotion site.

Alright, but can I rename it? Like right now it's Alcryion.com. Could I change it to, for example, elephantfood.com?

If you have bought a domain name .com, .co.uk, .net ect. it isn't possible. However you can transfer this domain name. If can rename a .forumotion.com subdomain but you can't transfer it.

Does that make sense?

There is no renaming. You will need to buy a new domain name.
