neednewname Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 So I would like to change my domain name but keep my page as it is. It is very confusing as far as marketing and promotions go, and I would like to change it. I have had it for a long time.
creedon Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 You can change your domain name at any time. You will have to pay for the new domain name. Find my contributions useful?

creedon Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 Just to expound a bit. Your site exists independent of your purchased domain and really your built-in domain. It is sitting out there in the ether on a server. Purchased and and built-in domains are mapped to point to the site on the server. It's a bit of an over simplification but that is the general principal. Of course SS enforces that your site must have a built-in domain or you wouldn't be able to get to your site.

neednewname Posted July 6, 2021 Author Posted July 6, 2021 Thank you. I don't quite understand that second reply, but if you could point me in the right direction to change my URL I would appreciate it. I am paying for the domain and don't want to delete my website on accident. Do I have to duplicate it, then name the new one what I want.. and then delete the old one?
creedon Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 Where did you purchase your domain? Squarespace? Another registrar? You don't need to duplicate your site. In your current SS site you will map your domain to your website. How you do that depends on where you purchased your domain. Find my contributions useful?

creedon Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 Is the domain you bought listed at Settings > Domains on your site? Find my contributions useful?
