Info: Note: We are happy to support you with questions about WordPress in connection with your web hosting. However, Hostpoint cannot offer application support for changes in WordPress itself. Possible points of contact for help with WordPress can be found in the article “Where can I get more help with WordPress?”.
To move your WordPress website to another domain, proceed as follows:
- Log into the Hostpoint Control Panel with your Hostpoint ID.
- Open your web hosting.
- Click on “Websites” in the menu on the left.
- Make a note of the document root that is set for the current WordPress website.
- Create a new website with the desired domain where you want your WordPress website 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. - 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 your WordPress website to another domain.
