To move WordPress to another domain, proceed as follows:
- Log into the Control Panel with your Hostpoint ID.
- Open your hosting and go to the «Websites» item.
- Make a note of the document root that is set for the current WordPress website.
- Now create a new website with the desired domain where you want WordPress to be accessible and add to the document root the path you noted down in the previous step.
- Click on «Finish» to set up the website.
- Make sure that the new domain points to Hostpoint (domain registered, assigned to hosting, name server set to Hostpoint).
- You should now be able to access the website from both domains. If this is the case continue with the following steps.
- Now log in to the WordPress Dashboard with your access data and go to «Settings» > «General».
- There you will see twice the current domain stored. Change the domain to the future domain that should be used and save this.
- Congratulations, you have moved the WordPress installation to another domain.
