Starting here will help you decide if you can do this on your own, or if you should bring in a website developer/designer to manage the transition for you. Once that’s sorted, let’s look at the different ways to switch your domain without losing your content.

Consider why you want to change your domain name
Whatever the reasons you are considering a change of domain name, figure out all of them ahead of time so that you won’t have any doubts when it comes time to do it.

Back up your website’s content
How you go about doing this may be dependent on: your website platform of choice, whether you’re self-hosted or managed, and your domain provider. So be sure to take your time and know what you’re doing when backing up the content.

Research your domain host’s features
Find out if you can change your domain name through your current hosting provider or site builder before booking a new provider. If your existing domain host doesn’t offer easy migration options, you can always sign up for a new host and book/purchase their services ahead of time.

Download your backup file to your computer
It is always a smart idea to download all the files you backed up before changing your domain. This way, you can host them yourself or just have a copy if anything goes wrong, and you need to revert to the old version of your website.

Don’t forget to tell Google!
Regardless of the website platform you’re using or changing to, telling the king of search engines about what’s happening can go a long way in preserving your SEO efforts.

Do your research to see what would be the easiest option for you before rushing into anything. If you have put a lot of time into your SEO, you’ll be glad you went through the process slowly to avoid seeing minimal changes in your search engine rankings. Once everything is said and done, you can get to work updating your social profiles and all public references to your website. If you have a lot of backlinks, this may mean reaching out to several website owners letting them know about the change.

The Journey is what everyday entrepreneurs, like you, need to follow in the pursuit of online success. Our experienced GoDaddy Guides are here to take you through all the steps, both big and small, that you encounter every day.

Do you want to change your URL or domain name? Before you do make sure you know what a 301 redirect and a 302 redirect is. A 301 redirect tells Google you changed URLs or domain names. By using a 301 redirect you are telling Google that you permanently moved. In other words, the URL won't go back to the old one and now the new one should take the place within the Google search results. A 302 redirect, on the other hand, is a temporary move. For exampl
