When you’re creating an account in SPanel,<\/b> you need to associate it with a main domain name. In most cases, this is the primary project on the account, and its document root is the <\/span>public_html<\/b> folder. It’ll help you differentiate between the different accounts, and you’re more likely to know <\/span>what each of them holds<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every now and again, however, you might <\/span>need to repurpose an account and use the data in it for another project<\/b>. In such a scenario, you’ll likely want to change the main domain name, and SPanel gives you the chance to do just that.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Bear in mind that changing the main domain in <\/span>SPanel won’t automatically point it to our servers. <\/b>If it is to resolve properly, you need to make sure that<\/span> the correct DNS settings<\/b> have been applied. This is done at the domain’s registrar.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
