  Hi there,
  I have built a wordpress site that is hosted by hostgator. I want to change just my domain name, I want everything else to stay the same. How do I do this?

  Hi there,

  If your site is with Hostgator, you are using the self-hosted version of WordPress, called WordPress.org. For help with that site you need to ask in the self-hosted forums, as we’re not able to help you here:

  https://wordpress.org/support/

  To get you started, you can find the WordPress.org instructions for changing the domain on a self-hosted site here:
