Default changing addon to a main domain

I will not be renewing the main domain that I am hosting here. I have other addon domains that I want to continue hosting here. Is it possible to change the main domain to one of the addons, or do I need to get a new hosting package and move everything over to the new package (and update the mysql info)?

Default Re: changing addon to a main domain

Since two DNS entries cannot be on the server at the same time, you'll need to remove your addon domain from your cPanel before we can make the change.

We actually recommend removing every sub, parked and addon domain as we've noticed problems with cpanel and chnaging a domain with dns pointers. Sometimes, it will completely lose them. Your best bet is removing them first, requesting us to make the change, when done... re-adding them.

Remember though, removing your addon or subdomain entries won't delete any content from their folders.
