Jeren Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I suppose the subject might seem a bit misleading, but here's the situation. Client originally purchased their hosting with DomainA.com . A few months later, they bought DomainB.com as an addon domain. Now, they want to drop DomainA.com and stick with DomainB.com. How would I go about making the switch in WHMCS and WHM? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arteryplanet Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 At whmcs as admin go to the Client product/services and change the domain name in the Domain field. At WHM login as root or reseller (only could modify as reseller if root give you the privilege to do that) and modify the domain in the account. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeren Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 Perhaps it's because the domain is already an addon, but I am getting a small error: Sorry, the domain ***Domain.org*** is already setup! Unable to change domain name 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPH Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Perhaps it's because the domain is already an addon, but I am getting a small error: Sorry, the domain ***Domain.org*** is already setup! Unable to change domain name Under your configuration in the admin area there is a block to check/uncheck that allows for registering a domain within the system 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, they want to drop DomainA.com and stick with DomainB.com. How would I go about making the switch in WHMCS and WHM? In WHM - click into their cpanel and remove the domainB as an addon from their account, this will remove it from httpd/ftp/email/dns etc. Then take the "modify" account option and type domainB over the top of domainA - that will replace all occurrences of domainA with domainB. In WHMCS "expire" domainA, and on the hosting package overtype domainA with domainB Job done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that one of the domains doesn't expire for a few months, I assume I'd put DomainA as an addon for DomainB in the meantime? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
othellotech Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 or parked - really only of any use if they still get mail to@domainA or its got a lot of incoming SE links 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeren Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 I don't think they get much traffic at all. He's been using his new domain more than the old, so it's just a matter of just having it up for casual use until it expires. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
