This video is very helpful since I just purchased a new domain name within WA and I want to move my website from the old domain to the new domain. Basically, my new domain name is the same as my old domain name - it just doesn't have hyphens between the words.

Example:

I went from

"old-domain-name"

to

"newdomainname."

I do have several questions.

First question:

Can I assume that the page/post URLs will remain the same? In other words, if the old page URL was:

"old-domain-name/one-of-my-posts"

will the new page URL now become:

"newdomainname/one-of-my-posts"

???

Second question:

I have a ton of internal links throughout my website on my old domain - as in:

"old-domain-name/a-link-to-another-post-on-my-website"

Will I have to re-do all of them so that they read:

"newdomainname/a-link-to-another-post-on-my-website"

???

Last question:

Will this move affect my SEO rankings in Google?

I appreciate any help my WA family can give me. I am a bit anxious about making this move - as you can probably tell...

I tried moving my old website to a new domain that I purchased here at WA but when I press the move button it tells me that its working on moving the site and should only take a few mins but it's been over 12 hours, don't know what to do?

What a seamless quick transfer from my siterubix.com to a .com domain name!

I have one question: the title of my website matched my siterubix.com domain name. However, I was unable to purchase the same name for my .com domain name. The .com domain name is slightly different (by one additional word).

How can I change / modify the title of my website under the .com domain name?

Will your authority and google rankings get jepoardized if moving your website to a new domain a third time?

In the beginning I changed from the "http://siterubix.com" to a new one as described above... but now months later I want to change domain name (again) for my site cause I`m not happy with the one o chose and it doesnt fit to the development of my site.

Is it too late doing this change when already joined affiliate programs? Or is it only to let them know that I have a new URL domain to my website and thats it? I`m a bit confused since my website is all up and ready now but I am unhappy with the actual domain name.

I have a couple of mistakes on my siteRubix site that I don't know how to fix.
!. edited my first about me and it became another post would like to delete the first post and use the second.
Then I'm not able to change it from post to page can I get some help. Would like to correct before I transfer

I just moved my siterubix site over to my .com domain...I received the email that it was a successful transfer, but when I go to the login page for the .com that i moved it to and I click to login I get an error that the site is not secure. Any suggestions?

Hello people.

Quick one: I have purchased a domain via WA and am just about to move my siterubix.com to my.com domain nevertheless my website is still empty (just the about me post and the privacy policy page) as I am yet to learn about how to make my website prettier.
If I move my site now, does that mean that anyone can visit the website via internet browsers?
Should I not wait until I have loaded more content in to my website and then move across to the .com domain I have just purchased?
Your help will be appreciated, thank you very much in advance!

I understand that I can move my domain name from another site to WA. Does that mean that I can use the domain name that I purchased already or do I have to purchase a new domain from WA? If I don’t move the siterubix website because I bought a different domain name somewhere else, can my domain name still be moved to WA?

If I still have things I want to edit on my website, should I do this before I move my domain to .com or can I work on my website (e.g.edit some content) after the move? I mean, do all the modifications still have to be done on SiteRubix after the domain move?

I did it! I had to point my nameservers from Godaddy - and the tutorials here on WA did not answer all my questions - but I did figure it out and write a blog on my site about it. I saw something on WA about premium members not being able to write tutorials until they have been premium for 3 months and I wanted to record how I did this transfer - to help other people - and remind myself if I forget by the time I have to do it again! http://freetrainingworkfromhome.com/host-a-domain-you-already-own-on-wealthy-affiliate

That was an easy to follow video, and I created my WA domain easily. In following the instructions on the video I checked the Site Domains section and I noticed that the one year registration I purchased "Renews Feb 02,2019". So, since today is March 04, 2018, I am a bit confused. It seems like I lost a month on the deal.

hello everyone i just transferred my siterubix over to my new domain but i have a quick question if someone wouldn't mind helping i would greatly appreciate it. so after going through the process of moving to your own domain the page that comes up once your move is complete mine doesn't look the same as in Kyle's video for example in the video the page reads
-Access Details
-Website admin used
-installed website functionality and options
but mine isnt this way mine says
-Admin details
-Domain details
-site+
>site speed (with an option on or off) mine is off
>siteSSL(HTTPs) says unavailable
>site protect (spam blocker) With option on or off mine is on
-page speed insight (with a chart of my pages)
Page title publish date desktop mobile scanned
V V
page title date
page title date
.........and so on
why does mine appear different did i do something wrong? Or is this how it should look? Also is the siteSSL supposed to be unavailable?

So I have followed the steps and have waited over an hour but my site still has not moved.... When I go to click move again it says "yourealhomeneeds.siterubix.com has already been scheduled to be moved to yourealhomeneeds.com We are moving your website over to a new domain right now and it will only take a few moments. If you wish to browse away while we complete the process you can feel free to do so as we will email you when the transfer is complete!"... any ideas??

I moved my site from siterubix to my own domain, hosted here on WA. A plugin doesn't work and my site doesn't appear normal at all on my own domain name. Simply going through and activating/inactivating them hasn't help. Any thoughts as to what the issue might be, or where else I can read about this? Many thanks.

Kyle, when you move a siterubix site to a new domain -can the name be different from that of the siterubix site? Along the way you decided that the name could be something else than what you had named it earlier.

another related question - if one purchased a .com website from WA and later decides to change to another.com name - is it possible to use the move key to do the same

Very handy info. I used this facility myself & have to say how simple & fast it was.

The only thing at the time of site moving that slightly confused me was still seeing old domain at SiteManager but this video has clarified that perfectly - remove old domain from SiteManager after a few weeks.

It made to difference to the functionality of anything - everything went perfectly so thanks for the MOVE facility here at WA & thanks for the video explaining things.

All the very best Andre

I have my own domain name from GoDaddy that I just purchased. Per GoDaddy, I have to wait 45 days to transfer that domain to WA. I did change the DNS to the WA nameservers. Do I have to wait until my domain name is actually transferred to WA before I can transfer my site rubix site to my new domain?

I just purchased my second domain name here at WA; haven't even gotten any traffic yet to my first website which makes me believe that there is something very wrong but I don't seem to be able to get the help needed to check this out.? I know you can go in and pull it up in Google manually by typing the name word for word in the browser and it's there but that's not how you get organic traffic. I have 5 posts that are ranking #1 on page #1 in Google as well.
I can't afford to pay someone to go in to look at the inner workings of the site either.
Things that make you go hmmm?

I received an answer from site support and apparently when I Enable SSL on my Website , which change my site from http to https and when I transferred my siterubix.com Website to a new domain https://depressionandweightloss.com/

it wipe out ALL my likes. =-( I really like seeing ALL the likes, because it let me know people were visiting my sight. Well at least I own the website now.

One other question, when you make the move and you are currently working only in the new domain, when iI go into Rubix back end manager, will I only see the new domain or do I have to choose which one I am working in and how do you do that?

2nd time doing this and I swear it took less than a minute!

I decided to create a test siterubix website before transferring to my real domain name because I didn't want google to index me before I was ready. This may be my process going forward because searching for wordpress themes is somewhat of a headache!

maybe someone has answered this below but Im getting frustrated that I have pointed my Godaddy nameservers to WA but now when I want to change the site rubix and I press 'move' I just get the option of putting the web address in the cart.... and I dont get any message to move it... what am I doing wrong???

My Nerves are finished I am stressing!!! Can anybody help me? I want to transfer siterubix to a recent domain I purchased at WA and this is the message I am getting! I am afraid ill loose all my info on current website...........................................................
Please be advised: All files and content (including database) on onlinefinancialfreedom.org will be permanently deleted and overwritten by the new website. This cannot be undone, so please be sure that you want to overwrite all files and content on onlinefinancialfreedom.org before proceeding. If there is any important Files on onlinefinancialfreedom.org you may wish to back them up first.

I did all of this. When I go to " move " my domain which I purchased from Godaddy. It is not listed . I have nothing to choose from. It just gives me the alternatives to buy a .net etc. But I already have my .com .

My Siterubix site was already built though. Unlike this example I guess.

Now you've REALLY confused me ... and I'm NOT a newbie at moving/creating websites.

1) Your screen options have definitely change since this video was created.

2) My domain names are already registered ... and pointing to my web hosting in Toronto, ON.

3) Wordpress has been installed.

So ... how do I move my files?

1) Do I have to now go back and point to WA name servers first and THEN transfer... I'm lost :-(

I've attach a screen print of what I see when I click my Move button.

@Kyle...Thanks for this video man, however, I think the video needs to be updated. The current site manager does not match the design of the one in the video and the process described in the video is not exactly the same. I have spent probably 4 hours trying to figure this out. I see multiple people have asked the same question over and over, and are being pointed to this URL, but the video is not exactly correct.

I think @Juneyo steps below are the correct steps. Is it possible to please update this video to help future members.

From @Juneyo's comment below:

Go to SiteRubix – Site Builder. Select On a Domain I Own and type in your new domain name in the Add Your Domain Name box. A green tick will appear as you finished typing. Then, just fill in everything.

After you click on I’m Ready, Build My Site Now, go to SiteRubix – Site Manager. Locate the Siterubix site you want to move and click on the Move blue button. Choose To an Existing Domain and select the new domain name from the Choose existing dropdown. Then, click I’m Ready, Move My Site. Everything will be overwritten and all your contents will be moved to the new domain.

Hello my friends. I just bought my own domain and want to transfer over the siterubix content over to my own. However, the domain I bought is different than the siterubix one I set up with. After doing a bunch of research I found this to be absolutely necessary. So, can I 'move' the siterubix website or should I start over? Starting over is not a big deal, its just a time thing. Thanks guys!
