Changing Domain Names?

[Alec]

Hey folks,

 

I've been a customer of TCH for some time and have been very happy with the service. Just a few days ago I decided I didn't have time for the site anymore, and I would be closing it and hence closed my account.

 

However - now a friend and I have decided to make a new site. Thing is - I want to try out some content management systems and designs before actually launching the site. I still own my old domain name.

 

Would it be possible for me to register a new account with TCH - Using my old domain name, try out the various features I want to then arrange to change the domain name to a new one (we haven't come up with a new domain name yet lol)?

 

Thanks again.

Basically all you need to do is open a Help Desk ticket to support when you get the new domain name and ask that it be parked on top of the current domain.

 

So yes, it's possible.

While possible, it can be a pain to change everything later.

However, with certain development tools, this irk can be less painful. I know that with Dreamweaver, you are able to change items and it will then inspect the entire site and make the appropriate changes for you, sort of an expanded link-checking.

 

Keep that in mind as you are doing the development work. And welcome back to TCH!
