Possible to change a domain name? - MrMike - 02-23-2011 11:23 AM
I'm not sure if this question is in the right area; if not, my apologies and please feel free to move it to a more appropriate board.
My question is pretty straightforward: is it possible to change a domain name once it's been created in ispCP?
That is, let's say I create a domain named "foo.com", and later I want to change it to "bar.com". Is this possible, or is this the kind of thing that makes people wince when they hear of it?

Okay, well, thanks for all the help.

Hi, delete the first one, and create the second its seems the best way

Thank you, mydebians, but this is specifically what I'm trying to avoid if at all possible.
I don't want to delete the domain and lose all the content, databases, users, and settings for things like FTP, mail, protected areas, etc. I would just like to change the name of the domain, if possible.
If all of the settings for a domain are held entirely in the ispcp database, I could probably create a script that would go though and change everything, but I don't know if there are any flat files that get written to, or other settings (i.e. Apache, conf files, etc) that would need to be changed as well.
