It’s very easy to rename a domain name in the DirectAdmin control panel. This can be performed from the user level interface itself. DirectAdmin will take care of the service configuration.

The database names will not be changed during this operation. Anyway, you may need to update the configuration of your site/scripts and connection strings, so they will use the new domain name.

To rename a domain:

1. Log into DA as a user

2. Navigate to Account Manager >> Domain Setup

3. Click the RENAME button

4. Select the Old Domain from the list and enter the New Domain

5. The domain name will be updated. A confirmation message will appear:

** The interface may differ as per the theme you are using with your DirectAdmin panel
