Matrixdudej 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2007 Well, my site is http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and I was going to buy a domain so that it doesn't have Xisto in it. I know that we can change domain name for 15 hosting credits but if I do that what happens to new site? I want all the stuff on my current site to be moved onto new site.

BuffaloHelp 24 Report post Posted June 30, 2007 Domain name is independent from your hosting. When you change your domain, all your files under your hosting are still intact. Few things you might have to change is your URL's within your page that calls for the old domain name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rvalkass 5 Report post Posted June 30, 2007 When you buy a domain name, this is completely separate from your hosting (often with an entirely different company). When you buy the address, you 'point' it to Xisto, so it knows where to look for the web site. Then, you tell your hosting account to handle any requests Xisto receives for the domain by 'parking' it at your account. Your old Xisto subdomain will still work, but the new domain can also be used.Your hosting account remains completely intact and untouched by the change - all your files stay where they are, your cPanel information is the same... There is also no need to go through the "change of domain name" and use 15 credits. I never went through that, and happily use another domain on my hosting account.If you need any help setting it up, feel free to ask, or PM or email me if you need more advice.
