Change of already created domain name is not possible today, however any owner of the website can replace the current Internet address by registration and a binding of the new domain. For this purpose the webmaster will need to use the control panel of a hosting.
Registration of a new domain name
The new Internet address can be registered on the websites of loggers of domain names. The majority of widespread domain zones for future address of the website are paid. Before carrying out registration the buyer is offered to check whether the desirable address already by someone another is backed up. For check of employment of a domain name the Whois service is used. If the domain is not occupied, you will be able to pass to registration procedure. It will be offered to you to enter personal information and to specify a contact information. After that you will be able to make payment of the backed-up name and to pass into the control control panel of the domain.
Change of the address of the website
Having passed into the control control panel of the domain, find the section of information or a menu item of "NS server". Copy the available information which is required for movement and fixing of the registered domain to your hosting provider. At the same time usually loggers provide from 2 to 4 NS servers which should be specified for the parking of the domain by a hoster.
Pass into the control control panel of the website. Use the section "Domains" ("Domain names") – "Add". Specify the servers copied on the page of the logger of a domain name and click "Ok" for application of changes.
Accession of a domain name can take about 48 hours depending on employment of servers of the registrar and hosting provider. After completion of operation of accession of the domain your website will become available to the new address. If after the specified period it is impossible to come to the new address of the website still, contact support of your hosting provider or registrar of a domain name.

You can also activate an option of readdressing of the user from the old address on new. Such service is available at some providers of services of placement of the websites. You can also contact support of your hosting for editing necessary parameters. If you want to edit readdressing parameters manually, change the .htaccess file which is in a root directory of yours the Internet of a resource. For inclusion of an option enter:
