Apologies for my lack of technical knowledge here, I'm asking this in layman's terms!
I have a wordpress site which is 2 weeks old, probably has around 30 articles and is starting to generate revenue already.
However, there is a big problem. The domain I purchased is pretty poor. It is a .co.uk with hyphens, not catchy, and the .com is already taken.
I didn't really think the site would do very well, so I didn't plan ahead, but now it looks very promising that this could turn into a very profitable website and something i could build a brand around and sell at a later date.
So, I want to rename the site.
I've found and bought an alternative domain name for the site, I have secured the .com, .co.uk and the major misspellings of it. the new domain could be a decent recognisable brand.
But now I'm wondering, how on earth do I transfer my site on the old bad domain to the new catchy domain?
Is this possible?
- If so, how is it done?
- If not, I guess I could just start from scratch with new content (not a problem, its the kind of site where new content is added all the time). But this would be a bit of a pain to do.
Ideally I would love to somehow replace the old domain name with the new one, along with the site logo, and continue with the site. If someone can give me a layman's terms 'how to' do this, I would be eternally grateful.
Thanks

In other words just replace the domain name and do a find and replace if you hardlinked any url's.
