Hi there,
I created a free hosting account on greekchat.free.nf and after the site was ready i bought a domain. I used the option parked domain to point to my site. So something i don’t understand now is whether both sites should be accessible. I am guessing i cannot delete greekchat.free.nf because the new domain points there. But on the other hand someone can use both domains?
You better not delete it, though I never tried.
Em, where’s your second domain?
The original domain works.
The “real” domain is chitchat.gr
The greekchat.free.nf was where i tested everything and i wouldn’t like it to be live and on search engines anymore.
Em, I thought I made a mistake.
You parked your domain, if you setup redirects it breaks the entire thing.
Backup everything, delete the old domain, add new domain back as a regular domain, then follow this guide to move your site:
@Pavlis ensuring you are notified about this.
Right. I see now. Well i went to try this but when opening file manager it takes me the home of greekchat.free.nf and i dont see an option to navigate into the new domain’s files. Which makes sense since there isn’t any; it’s just a domain pointing to somewhere else.
You’ll have to delete the new domain in control panel / client area first, then add the new domain back to your account. This should create the folder chitchat.gr/htdocs, then you’ll be able to move the files.
Is this going to do a mess with the domain provider and the SSL?
SSL won’t work on new domain (not trusted), so you have to repeat the process of requesting a certificate.
I don’t understand what you mean by “domain provider”, if you mean registrars then of course not.
