How to change the domain for your WordPress site? Print

Whether you are moving from a temporary "https://www.google.com/search?q=nixzoepress.com" address to your official brand or simply rebranding, changing your domain is a one-click process in our dashboard.

The Step-by-Step Process:

1. Log in to your Nixzoe WordPress Manager.

2. Select the website you want to update.

3. Find the "Domain" section and click the Change or Manage button.

4. Enter your new domain name (e.g., newbrand.com).

5. The System Magic: Nixzoehost will now automatically:

   • Update the siteurl and home rows in your database.

   • Update your wp-config.php file.

   • Reconfigure your cPanel folders to match the new name.

6. Refresh Permalinks: Once finished, log in to your WordPress Admin, go to Settings > Permalinks, and click Save Changes.

Important Note: After changing your domain in the dashboard, make sure you have pointed the DNS (using Article #2 above) so the new domain actually knows to look at our server!
