Can I Change My WordPress Domain?

Changing your WordPress domain is a simple process that can be accomplished through a few simple steps. Once you have your new domain and hosting sorted out, all you need to do is update your WordPress settings to use your new domain. Here’s a detailed guide on how to do just that:

1. First, you will need to find your domain name and host it with a domain registrar.

Once you have your domain name, log into your domain registrar’s account and find the “Registrar Status” page. On this page, you will need to find the “Domains” section and click on the “Details” button next to your domain name.

2. On the “Details” page, you will need to find the “Hosting” section and click on the “Details” button next to your domain name.

On the “Hosting” page, you will need to find the “Settings” tab and update the “Hosting Address” to your new domain name.

3. Next, you will need to update your WordPress settings to use your new domain. Log into your WordPress account and click on the “Settings” menu item.

On the “Settings” page, click on the “General” tab and find the “Site Address” field. In the “Site Address” field, you will need to enter your new domain name.

4. Finally, you will need to update the “Port” field to use your new domain’s port number.

The default port for WordPress is port 80, but you can change it to your new domain’s port number if you want.

That’s all there is to it! Once you have completed these steps, your WordPress site will use your new domain name and port number. Be sure to test your site to ensure that everything is working correctly.

If not, don’t hesitate to contact your hosting provider or WordPress support for assistance.
