Changing Web site name
Can anyone tell me the quickest way to change your Web site address? For example, if I wanted to change www.stutteringtherapy.com to www.stutter.com how could I do this in the most efficient manner?

Thanks,

Peter Delicious

Someone already owns that domain name if you are not currently the registered owner.

Once you register the new domain, is there a quick way to direct all of your pages to the site without having to change all those htmls?

Preitzes, if you notice if you type in www.techsupportguy.com, you end up in www.techsupportguy.org.

You just need to set the redirect up on the DNS server.

Thanks for the pm as well.

I guess from the sounds of it, none of us seemed to get it.....and I'm not a liberal, but I see at least one here


Seriously though, we have a random section and civilized debate section that would be more suitable for that kind of stuff
