How to Change My Website's Domain Name

To change the domain name associated with your website, go to your Client Area > Websites > All Site Options for the desired site. Click the kebab menu > Change Primary Domain. On the page that opens input the new desired domain name and click Confirm. Make sure that the new domain name is registered and pointed to your SiteGround website. Note that you can not select a SiteGround temporary domain name at this step. It is available only upon new site creation.

If you do not see the All Site Options button you should click Switch to Grid View at the top right above the list of websites.

The new domain name should be registered and pointed to your SiteGround website before the primary domain name change.

Note that if you are collaborating on this website with someone else, the change should be made by the website owner.

If you had an SSL certificate on the old domain name, shortly after the domain name change we will automatically reissue a new free Let’s Encrypt certificate on your new domain. You can manage this certificate or order a paid premium SSL from Site Tools > Security > SSL Manager.
