Can I change my domain name?

No, domain names cannot be changed once they are registered. Each domain name is a unique identifier on the internet, and once it's created, it becomes a permanent record in the global domain name system (DNS). For this reason, it is not possible to rename or alter an existing domain name.

What are my options if I want a different domain name?

If you wish to use a different domain name, you will need to:

  1. Register a new domain name: Search for and register the desired name, provided it is available.

  2. Update your website and services: After registration, you can migrate your website, email, and other services to the new domain.

  3. Set up redirection (optional): If you want to redirect traffic from your old domain to the new one, you can configure domain forwarding or redirection via your hosting or DNS settings.

  4. Let the old domain expire: If you no longer intend to use the original domain name, simply allow it to expire at the end of its registration period.

Important Note: Be cautious before letting a domain expire—especially if it has traffic, SEO value, or brand recognition—as expired domains can be picked up by others and misused.
