How to Change Primary Domain at BlueHost?

So, you have a reason to change your primary domain, and you don’t know how to do it on BlueHost? Well, no worries! In this post, we are going to share the two straightforward ways to do it.

But, before you choose either route, you need to know a few things.

Things you should know before starting the process

That’s about it. Once you know these four things, you can start the process of changing the primary domain. 

To not fumble through the process, make sure you know your old primary domain, the new primary domain, and the last four characters of your cPanel password.

Now, let’s understand the process!

1. Manually changing primary domain at BlueHost

To manually change your primary domain at BlueHost, perform the following steps:

Step-1: Login to your cPanel. 

Step-2: Navigate to the Order Information View

Type the domain name in the search field and select Order from the drop-down. Click Search.

Step-3: Change domain

After the order page opens, look for a “Change domain” option, and click on it. Here, you will need to enter your “new primary domain” and click Save.

Step-4: Done

That’s it. Once you click Save, a “Your request to change the primary domain of your hosting package has been placed.” popup will appear. Just click Ok.

Within a few hours, your primary domain will be changed.
