  Hi @ktellmemore,

  I have tagged the thread to staff, they should be able to assist you with it further. To speed up the process, just mention the new domain name you would like to change.

  Please be patient, someone from the staff will assist you soon.

  Thanks!

  Hi ktellmemore,

  It isn’t possible to edit or rename a domain once it has been registered, but I can cancel ktellmemore.com and add the domain credit back to your account so you can register another. Is this something you would like me to do?

  It’s worth noting that once ktellmemore.com has been cancelled, there is no guarantee you will be able to register this domain again in the future if you change your mind.

  Please let me know what you would like to do and we can go from there :)

  Hello!

  I would also like to change the name of my domain. Right now, it’s sepaq2017.com (https://sepaq2017.com/) and I need it to be sepaq2018.com.

  Can you do something to help me?

  And, of course, I’m wondering if all contents will transfer to the new domain. I wish I won’t lose anything… took me so long to create the site.

  =)

  Many thanks!
  Danie
