Changing my domain name?
Hi guys,
I recently had to unfortunately change my travel plans from a trans Africa trip to a smaller "equator mission". Long story short i now need to change the domain name of my website. I am using Joomla 1.0.13 and my site is at www.petoparis.com. I am very new to this website business-does anyone know how to change my domain name so that everything will still be cool and if people go to www.petoparis.com - Home they will be re-directed to my new site? Any help would be really great thanks mike

I use Ipower and run 2 domain names on the same hosting service. If you tell someone your domain name for your travel blog is petoparis.com and you have it hosted on the same servers as your main domain at mypetoparis.com they will both point to the same place (webspace) - the index.html or index.php or whatever is your default index file. I have my own domain at shales.com. In this webspace I also host bikerbytes.com Pointing your browser at either domain name will take you to the same place. If you go to bikerbytes.com/txp you are taken to a sub directory with its own index file that is separate from the bikerbytes/shales directory and so has different content. (the bikerbytes.com level has an error and does not work with firefox... must sort that sometime  So, the simple and cheap solution is to create another directory, (short name is better) and a new index file in that directory and then just tell people that link. Still with me? John

John-you the man!
John,
Well it most definetly sounds like you know what you are talking about but you lost me way back at the start. So John, I am going to email my host provider, if thats what they are called, and email their support team and get them to sort it...too confusing for me Thanks for your help though Mike

Mike,
just set up another directory (folder in Microsoft speak) below your base or home directory. Usually its called something like /public_html So make a directory called /public_html/bigtrip (for eg.) Then build a complete new website there including and index.html (or index.php or whatever you use). Then, you just tell people that your link is at domainname/bigtrip. They go straight there without seeing what's at domainname. I don't know how else to explain it but its dead easy. Cheers, John
