Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 7:27 pm

If you have a domain name that is currently hosted on HostGator, there are a few simple steps you can take to change your domain name. To begin, you will need to log in to your HostGator account and access the “Domains” section. From here, you will be able to view all of your current domain names and their corresponding hosting plans. Once you have determined which domain name you would like to change, you will need to click on the “Manage” button next to that domain name and then select the “Hosting” tab.

PRO TIP: If you are changing your domain name on Hostgator, be sure to back up your website first. Changing your domain name can cause your website to break and you could lose all of your data.

From here, you will be able to select which hosting plan you are using for that domain name and then click on the “Change Name” button. This will take you to a new page where you will be able to enter in your new domain name. Once you have entered in your new domain name, click on the “Submit” button and your new domain name will be updated within your HostGator account.
