How do I change my website name?

Thanks everyone for your suggestions, but with all this information I'm trying to remember, I needed to know how to change my domain name. Is it possible or do I have to delete it or start another one with the name I wanted?

When it comes to the web site's domain name itself, or even a sub-domain name, it usually would have to be deleted and start a new one. I'm not sure if WA has some sort of transfer tool that would allow transfer from one domain to another, but generally in web development it's a start fresh type of situation.

In looking at the websites and hosting page, there is in fact a "move" option, so it very well may be the case that you could move to a new domain. I would certainly imagine that the move functionality is dependent on the site being hosted under WA. Maybe someone can confirm or deny that? Definitely find out first before doing anything. Also, see if you can make sure your site is backed up first, just in case.

Glad I read this. I wanted to know myself for future reference.

If I'm not mistaken because of the overload of website creation in the world it should populate within 24-48 hours.

Go to your dashboard. Choose 'Settings' - 'General Settings' and change the 'Site Title' to the new name you want.

Thanks soooo much for your help. Do you know how long it takes to change? Will I see the change tomorrow?
