I currently have my Ecommerce store on one domain but want to change it to a different domain. In other words I want to move all my files from vickiethebeadsmith.com to vacreationstation.com and stop using vickiethebeadsmith.com. Is there an easy way for instructions as to how I can do this?

Thank you!

Hi Leon,
Assuming you're staying with the same hosting company and you have the ability to point the domain to your existing files:

It should be straight forward really providing all your menu links are relative, you'll only have to change the store url that's set in the main settings of your admin.

If you can't point your domain to the existing site files you need to backup your database and site files, move them over to the new location and then switch the DNS to point to the new location.

But if you need any help just click on my name and send me an email.

Also, don’t forget that if you want to retain or pass on any SEO value from your current site to the new one you need to follow google’s recommendations for changing urls. Otherwise you’ll lose any potential value your existing site may hold regarding SEO.

However, if your site is new, this probably won’t be a concern.

Thank you! All is working well!
