 * My WordPress blog is hosted in Go Daddy (godaddy.com). Two domains point to the
   blog. At this moment, the primary domain is “bloglauco.com”. I installed my blog
   in this domain.
 * Some days ago, I registered another domain: “tothblog.com”. This new domain is
   also pointing to that same hosting account — the same WordPress blog.
 * However, now I want to make “tothblog.com” the new primary domain.
 * OK, I know how I can do that. I know how to change primary domain. It’s easy.
   But I write this message because I don’t know if I can normally change domain
   when there is a WordPress blog installed on it via.
 * Is all database directed to “bloglauco.com”? So if I change primary domain I’ll
   loose my blog?! How could I make the change?
 * The blog is normally accessed via tothblog.com, but all the links in the blog
   point to bloglauco.com. I don’t like this behaviour.
 * Thank you very much.

 * I hosted with go daddy changed my domain from a .info to a .com and for 4 days
   coudn’t get everything right which drove me absolutely bonkers because I had 
   main page up but all the tabs were in .info mode and “parked” courtesy of go 
   daddy. Thought I was going to have to learn sql data base! Now Im laughing but
   WASN’T at the time. If all you’ve done is changed the domain name then:
 * I got it up in 5 minutes after Josh Holloway answered my question on wprecipes.
   com
 *  Word press admin area
 *  Settings
 *  WordPress Address URL
 * Change this to your new URL.
 * So simple I could just pinch myself! Unbelievable and I had pages of info I had
   worked on for months.
    Happy again in wordpress world.
