  Hi there,

  I’ve had my mapped domain to my site expire (my fault for not keeping up to date!) and would like to change the mapping to a slightly different domain name. Is this possible? Can’t seem to find an option to do so? If it is doable I will purchase the new domain.

  Many thanks,
  Nathan

  Hello –

  Yes, we can help you with that. If you have a domain in mind to register, go ahead and do so, and let us know back here, and we can change your mapping to point to that new domain.

  Great stuff :-) Have now purchased the domain and is supposedly live.

  It was mapped to saltairecycles.co.uk but if you could please change it to saltaire-cycles.co.uk that’d be great :-)

  Many thanks,

  OK. I’ve made that mapping to saltaire-cycles.co.uk for you.

  You’ll probably still need to update nameservers at your registrar as outlined here:
