This chapter focuses on administrative tasks you perform when administering domains for your customers. Follow the instructions provided in this chapter to learn how to create new domain names, configure all required restrictions and limits, set up hosting, mail, and other services.
If required, you can rename a domain name directly through the control panel. However, for the new (renamed) domain to be properly resolved on the Internet, you must register the new name with a domain registrar and make sure that the name servers are properly specified.
Once you have changed a domain name, you should obtain a new SSL certificate, if SSL support is required.
Renaming a domain may result in problems with the software running on that domain.
To change the domain name and requirement for www prefix, follow these steps:
At the domain administration page, click the Domain administrator icon.
Check or uncheck the WWW prefix checkbox to determine whether the given domain will allow the www prefix to be used to access the domain. If the box is checked, Internet users will be able to access a domain (i.e. domain.com) by specifying either the domain name itself or the domain with the "www" prefix. If the box is unchecked it will not be accessible with the "www" prefix (i.e. www.domain.com).
Edit the domain name as desired, and click OK.
