Changing Your Domain Name
The "primary domain" is the primary address used to view your website. To change your primary domain, follow the instructions below.
Oncord will need to re-issue an SSL certificate for the new domain, so there may be a brief period where website visitors see an SSL error or "Privacy Warning". This usually clears in 10 - 30 minutes.
You must have ownership of the new domain name before proceeding with the steps below. If you haven't registered the new domain name yet, follow the instructions here.
Step 1: Park The New Domain
Your new domain will need to be "parked" in your Oncord account. We recommend configuring the new domain to re-direct to your current primary domain initially, before setting it to be the new primary domain in later steps.
- Login to your Oncord Dashboard.
- Click the "Settings" icon, located at the bottom of the left-hand sidebar.
- Select "Domains", followed by the "Park Registered Domain" button at the top of the screen.
- Specify your new domain name. Select the option "Redirect to the primary domain name", and select "301 Moved Permanently" for the Redirection Mode.
Step 2: Configure DNS and Name Servers
If you recently registered a new domain name via the Oncord Domains Console, your domain will already be set to use Oncord's name servers, and you can proceed with step 3 below.
Otherwise, after your new domain has been parked in your Oncord account, follow the go-live instructions to configure DNS, and point your domain towards Oncord.
Step 3: Change the Primary Domain
Important: Before proceeding with the steps below, please follow the instructions above to ensure your new domain name as been parked in your Oncord account, and is currently re-directing to your website.
To change the primary domain:
- Login to your Oncord Dashboard.
- Click the "Settings" icon, located at the bottom of the left-hand sidebar.
- Select "Domains" to view the domains parked in your Oncord account.
- Right-click your new domain name in the domain names list, and select the drop-down menu option "Make Primary".
