I had a domain name for a year, now I want to change the name to a different domain name. How do I get my posts under the new domain name?

You can transfer your domain materials to a new domain name. But I do recall that the actual domain name isn't so important for SEO, if that is what your concerned about.

If your domain name is totally off topic to the niche you have redirected yourself to, then I would see you might want to do this.

Hey billy

one of the biggest regrets i have about my website is my domain name. It doesn't really match too closely to what i am promoting and the new direction i have taken it.

Saying all this, i have quite a few posts ranking on page 1 and don't dare change me domain name. I believe if your content is top notch, it won't matter too much.

Change your domain title?

Mark

Yes i have done that

You are correct, if you change your domain name after the year is up, and switch over, Google has to start all over. Wishing you all the best.

I dont know exactly however you may choose sub domine.

If you've been ranking under the old domain name consider keeping it. If you change to a new one you risk having to start over in the the ranking game and might even be considered duplicate content at the beginning.

Why not keep your same domain name, just change the domain title. Saves you money from not having to purchase a new domain and retains your rankings. Or do as I am doing and go the sub-domain route.

It hasn't been mentioned here, but you can't "change" a domain name, so I'm assuming you intend to buy another domain, or already have another.

I think you will lose ranking and you will have to do the same process from the beginning

If you change your domain, I’m sure you will lose your rankings with in the search engines unless you haven’t been using it?

Hello Billy,
Go to your domain under Site Manager and click on the move icon, and you will have the option to select the new domain hosted within WA to move it to. I hope this helps!

Thank You Gina, I will definitely try that.

That's how I did it.
