This guide shows you how to change the primary domain on a cPanel account.
Doing this will delete any custom DNS (including MX) records, so make sure to go into cPanel > Zone Editor and MX Entry and take a screenshot of or copy the records to a text document.
A second effect of this change is that all email accounts change to reflect the new domain, for example changing the primary domain from yourdomain.co.za to mydomain.co.za will change admin@yourdomain.co.za to admin@mydomain.co.za.
Step 1– Login to WHM
- Please see article on how to login to WHM here.
Step 2 – Click on List Accounts
Step 3 – Click the “+” next to relevant domain name to expand options then click Modify Account.
Step 4 – Update the primary domain and click Save.
- We do no advise making changes to the cPanel Username as this would take a longer time to take effect.
That’s it ! Your primary domain has been changed.
