We still haven’t heard anything from Namecheap about this, but they are also not very specific about the exact status on their end.
Again, it’s out of our control, and we can’t do anything but wait for Namecheap and the .PE registry do their thing.
In short:
- Add a new (sub)domain to your existing hosting account.
- Move the website files to the directory of the new domain: How to move a website to a different directory
- Update your website configuration to use the new domain name. How to do this depends on how your website is built.
You don’t need to move any databases. Also, do not create a new hosting account for the new domain name, unless you want to create a lot of extra work for yourself with no benefit.
