My website: How do I change the domain name and keep the webpages.?

I need the terminology for my host/service, to explain what I need. They are Network Solutions. I want to change the address, that is the domain (.com) name- however I want the web pages to stay exactly the same without having to redo all the work. So the address will be different. What do I ask Network solutions to do. I understand I can get it forwarded, but then do I have to redo the entire site? Serious help only please.. Please ask if u need more detail

My website: How do I change the domain name and keep the webpages.?

Hi,

A lot of it depends on how you have created your webpage. I am talking about the links. For example lets say you have a website called www.xyz.com and you want to change it to www.zzz.com.

If alot of your links are something like www.xyz.com/newevents.html ... then you are going to have problems. This could happen if you had previously MANUALLY key in the link address.

If you had made the links by choosing a file instead (lets say you are using Dreamweaver), then the link is not specific to www.xyz.com/newevents.html only.. but can be (anydomain)/newevents.html.

Maybe you can describe how you design your website? In particular the linkings.

And as for changing the domain name, you can register a new domain name with network solutions.. and ask them to update the DNS.. if necessary (i doubt so because you are using a same provider). But ask them, about the DNS anyway.

You%26#039;d need to backup your files in the previous domain..and dump all into the new one. using FTP programs would be good.

Hope i%26#039;ve helped.
