Changing a website adress?

i wanted to know of a way to change a url into something else



ex.) www.sitename.com

to

www.mysitename.com





or any other way that the original site name wont be seen and only the one i created



even if its temporary thats okChanging a website adress?Not sure if it will work, but try doing a re-write on your .htaccess file so that www.mysitename.com in browsers will be directed to www.sitename.com. Since www.mysitename.com is not registered and no name servers are pointed to it, my suggestion probably will not work.



You could do it just the opposite and use your registered domain name and have the rewrite go elsewhere online.

Changing a website adress?
A quick fix to your question is to claim the new domain name.

Once that is done set up an automatic re-direct to your new website from your old one.

Then once the new link/website is established as your site, then you can disable/delete the old one.
