How to request the change
Changing the primary domain on a cPanel account is done by our team to make sure everything is updated cleanly. To request it:- Log in to the Hosting Panel at https://clients.stablepoint.com.
- Open a support ticket.
- Include:
- The current main domain
- The new main domain
- Whether the new domain should keep the existing website content
What to check after the change
- DNS: point the new domain to our nameservers (or set its A record to your server IP).
- SSL: a certificate for the new domain is issued automatically once DNS resolves; check SSL/TLS Status in cPanel.
- Application URLs: update your application’s site URL. For WordPress: Settings → General, update both WordPress Address and Site Address, and run a search-replace for old URLs in content (WP-CLI:
wp search-replace 'olddomain.com' 'newdomain.com'). - Email accounts: mailboxes exist per domain. Create the mailboxes on the new domain, and set up forwarders from the old addresses if you’re keeping the old domain during a transition.
- Old domain redirect: if you keep the old domain pointed at us, add a 301 redirect from old to new so visitors and search engines follow.
Changing the main domain does not affect your billing, plan, or files — only the domain the account is addressed by.
