Quick Domain Configuration *Swap Primary and Addon Domains)
Budget: $8 – $15 USD
I need our cPanel account reorganized so the current addon domain becomes the new primary, while the existing primary is demoted and served from the same server as a subdomain (e.g. oldsite → legacy.oldsite.com). Back-ups are already complete, so you can focus entirely on the reconfiguration itself.
Key steps I expect:
• Adjust the cPanel settings and Apache/Nginx vhosts to point the account’s document root to the new primary domain.
• Create the subdomain for the demoted site and move its files, databases, and SSL so everything keeps working without broken links or certificate warnings.
• Update DNS records and let me know whether we should expect any propagation delay; if records switch instantly, proceed straight to the next step.
• When the subdomain is live, upload a small application I’ll provide (simple file copy and database import, no platform dependencies).
Everything needs to resolve correctly over HTTPS, and mail routing for both domains must remain intact. Once both sites load securely in a browser I’ll consider the job done. Thank you in advance.
