How Do I Move The Domain

[virtualwhispers]

I have one domain here already.

I just got another domain that I want to be the main one.

How do I move the domain that is already here to be
an add-on of the new one?

Submit a support ticket--can't remember whether there's a small charge. But support needs to do this.

Make sure you take a backup of the files you need for the domain you have been using. It would be easier to just add the new domain as an addon. Both domains would be accessible so it really doesn't matter so much which is the "main" domain, IMO.

But down the road if they want to add a dedicated IP address, I thougt I read somewhere that it can only be added to the Main Domain name. I could be all wet on this...

Could be, I know you can't have a separate dedicated IP for the main and addon domain. Personally I don't like addons at all and much prefer keeping the domains separate.

Ok I am not so smart on all this but i am very intrested... Why do you say that or maybe I should say what are the pros of keeping them separate?
