  I was editing my website and I got into one of the main pages.
  There was this line which probably said: The name of the website which is connected to the server. I changed it from the correct one to another desired sitename (since I thought at first that changing the main domain name to a made-up one one will do the trick).

  As I wrote the new domain name I invented and saved changes, I got kicked out of the site with no access back.
  What do I do?

  I host it in Gatorhost, but the specific line I changes is something that is WordPress internal. So I don’t know…maybe it is still relevant to this forum.
