Can I change my domain name after registration?

Asked 2 years ago
After registering a domain name with DomainPeople, you cannot change the domain name itself. Once a domain name is registered, it is tied to your account, and the name cannot be altered. However, if you wish to use a different domain name, you will need to register a new domain altogether. This process involves checking the availability of your desired domain and completing the registration steps for the new name. If you have an existing website or online presence associated with the original domain, you can redirect the new domain to the old one or create a separate site under the new name. It is essential to consider that any changes may require updating your marketing materials, search engine optimization strategies, and potentially informing your audience about the new domain. For specific policies and additional options regarding domain management, it is always a good idea to refer to the current web page for detailed information. Keep in mind that there may be additional costs associated with domain registration, so it is wise to check those as well.
